Milestone Moment: A Championship Tie Went in Tony Stewart’s Favor in 2011

Five Favorites for Homestead: Kyle Busch Could Be Primed to Repeat

By Jared Turner Kyle Busch won at Homestead for the first time with his memorable championship drive one year ago. He might need a repeat performance in South Florida to repeat as Sprint Cup champion.

Homestead-Miami Preview: Logano Thinks He’s Prepared to Win It All

By Jared Turner It’s all come down to this. With 35 races in the books, the curtain will close on the 2016 Sprint Cup Series season Sunday night as four drivers do battle for NASCAR’s biggest prize in the Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Eliminated from championship contention last weekend at Phoenix were Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth. Left standing are Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, Joey Logano and Kyle Busch. While the four finalists all bring clear strengths into the winner-take-all finale, there is not a clear favorite among the group. All four have been dominant at…
