South Florida is Ready to Heat Up An Already Spicy NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs

Shining under the beautiful South Florida sun is the 1.5-mile, progressively banked Homestead-Miami Speedway, the big stage for this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs’ second race of the Round of 8, the Straight Talk Wireless 400, this Sunday, October 27 at 2:30 p.m. ET on NBC, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Channel 90).

With a role of the dice last weekend in Las Vegas, Team Penske’s Joey Logano and the No. 22 Ford team persevered, holding-off Joe Gibbs Racing’s Christopher Bell, while managing their fuel milage to become the first driver and team to earn a spot in the Championship 4 Round, leaving just three positions still up for grabs heading into Sunday at Miami.

NASCAR Cup Series: Rolling the Dice on the Playoffs’ Round of 8 at Las Vegas

After Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Larson dominated the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs’ Round of 12 elimination race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course, four more drivers have been eliminated from the postseason – Alex Bowman, Austin Cindric, Daniel Suarez and Chase Biscoe. Now, the remaining eight postseason contenders must adjust their focus as the Playoff spotlight turns to the 1.5-mile Las Vegas Motor Speedway for this Sunday’s South Point 400 on NBC, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Channel 90), the seventh race of the Playoffs and the first race of the Round of 8.

This season’s Round of 8 contenders include four former NASCAR Cup Series Champions (Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott and Joey Logano), and all eight drivers have previously competed in the Round of 8 in their careers. Interestingly, seven of the eight have previously earned a spot in the Championship 4 Round in their careers, the lone exception looking to make the Championship Four for the first time, is 23XI Racing’s Tyler Reddick.

It’s an even-numbered year after all.

When the Bank of America ROVAL 400 ended on Sunday afternoon at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course, Logano had failed to advance to the Round of 8 by four points, thanks to a determined charge through the field by Regular Season Champion Tyler Reddick.
