The pressure builds for playoffs drivers. Sunday’s race at Homestead-Miami Speedway (2:30 p.m. ET on NBC) is the second of three chances for playoff drivers to earn a spot in next month’s title event at Phoenix.
Former champion Joey Logano secured his spot in the title race by winning last weekend at Las Vegas. Ross Chastain, Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin enter Sunday’s race in the three remaining playoffs spots. William Byron (six points below the cutline), Chase Briscoe (-9), Ryan Blaney (-11) and Christopher Bell (-23) are outside a transfer spot.
