With one race to determine the champion of NASCAR’s playoffs, this really is anyone’s game.
NASCAR’s Championship 4 of Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano have all had success at Homestead-Miami Speedway, but none of them are leading in victories.
The four drivers have combined for three wins in 52 combined races and none has won over once. But, all of them have been in contention repeatedly as they have combined for 33 top-10 finishes.
So who will come out on top this weekend? It is hard to say. The fantastic money is on Busch or Harvick, since the two drivers have combined to win 16 races this year, but Truex is the defending champion and has four wins of his own this year, including one on a 1.5-mile track in Kentucky.
We fully believe someone in the Championship 4 will come out on the top and we are choosing Busch to earn his second win in a row and first NASCAR championship since 2015.
The Ford EcoBoost 400 could be viewed Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on NBC.

Which NASCAR drivers would be best for your fantasy lineup in Homestead-Miami?
Kyle Larson has the third best odds to succeed at Homestead-Miami Speedway and for great reason. In five career NASCAR races at the course he’s finished in the top 5 times. In four trips to Miami in the Xfinity series he’s finished in the top 10 four times in four tries. Three of those efforts were at the top 3. In addition, he has nine top-10 endings on 1.5-mile tracks this season.
Brad Keselowski was in last year’s Championship 4, but was unable to come away with a win. This season he is the guy to maintain one of the top four from winning the race. Keselowski has two leading 5s and four top 10s in his profession at Miami and has finished in the top 10 seven times at 10 1.5-mile races this past season.
