The NASCAR Cup Series entered Homestead-Miami Speedway for the second race in the Round of 8, and one playoff driver earned a ticket to Phoenix Raceway. On Sunday, Tyler Reddick won the Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead for his third victory of the year. Reddick was able to make an all-time pass on Ryan Blaney in the final corners despite having a tire deficit.
Initially, Reddick entered Homestead 30 points below the playoff cut-line; however, that changed as he clinched a spot in Phoenix. Martinsville Speedway is next on the schedule, and with a spot in the Championship 4 on the line, the intensity is through the roof. Below, we look at the current standings.
