Blaney and Reddick climb in NASCAR Cup Homestead finale

Positions four through 15 changed in the NASCAR Cup Series championship race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, as the driver standings shifted throughout the 10-race Chase, which included Stage points and an increased reward for winning.

Ryan Blaney finished fourth in the standings with his fourth victory of the season, while Tyler Reddick advanced to fifth with second place in the finale. Chase Briscoe dropped from fourth to sixth after a blown engine early in the race, and Joey Logano fell from fifth to seventh. William Byron took eighth after his third-place finish, and Austin Cindric reached the top 10 for the first time in his Cup career.

Christopher Bell finished second and Denny Hamlin third in the standings. Bell said his car was loose in daylight and did not improve as the race went on, while Hamlin, who led 87 of the 267 laps, said his push for the win in the closing laps cost him positions after he hit the wall.
