Key information for Sunday’s NASCAR playoff race at Homestead-Miami

Just two races remain before the season finale, and the pressure on the playoff drivers is steadily increasing following last week’s third round opener at Las Vegas, where Joey Logano became the first driver to clinch a berth in the championship race, and several other contenders took big hits when crashes took them out of the running.

Now the action moves to South Florida, where another contender could join Logano in the championship race if one of the other seven playoff drivers takes the checkered flag Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. But Homestead also provides an opportunity for those who struggled last weekend to make up some ground in the standings – which could be crucial since at least one of the three remaining championship spots will be awarded on points. And if Logano or a non-playoff driver wins on Sunday, that would leave two spots decided by points.
