Kyle Larson dominated Sunday's race at Homestead Miami Speedway, leading 199 of the 267 laps on the way to victory. It was the third win of the season for the Hendrick Motorsports driver, the 19th of his career, and his first at this track. One week after the incident with Bubba Wallace at Las Vegas, Larson was able to celebrate with his team in victory lane.
For the second consecutive week, Ross Chastain earned a runner-up finish. He was once again just one spot away from clinching a spot in the Championship Four, but he has himself a comfortable 18-point cushion in the standings heading into the final cutoff race. With Larson winning today, it means that the seven eligible playoff drivers will battle for three remaining spots next weekend.
Chastain was the only playoff driver to finish inside the top-five today, and the only other playoff driver inside the top-ten was his buddy Denny Hamlin. It looked like Hamlin might notch his fourth Homestead victory today but he got into the wall late in the race, and was unable to get back to the front of the field.
AJ Allmendinger, Austin Dillon, and Brad Keselowski all ran well today and earned top-five finishes. Martin Truex Jr was on target to score his first win of the season until a late caution forced everyone to pit. Coming onto pit lane as the race leader, he was spun by Larson and his shot to win was gone.
A number of playoff drivers had trouble today, most notably Chase Briscoe. The Stewart Haas Racing driver struggled all day until he finally lost control of his No. 14 Mustang. His 36th place finish leaves him in a must-win scenario next weekend at Martinsville. Christopher Bell and Ryan Blaney will also likely need to win next Sunday to get to the championship race in Phoenix.
