The Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway certainly looked like a good day for the Ford camp, especially at Team Penske. Ryan Blaney fired off early and easily looked like the best car in the field. But some unforeseen circumstances befell every one of the Penske drivers at some of the worst possible times. While Team Penske struggled, Hendrick Motorsports’ Alex Bowman and Kyle Larson were just biding their time.<\/p>\n
When it came time to deliver, Larson did what he does best. Especially at Homestead, as he drove from fourth to the win in the final 10 laps of the race. Outlasting Bowman for the second of three wins on the weekend in Miami. Sure Saturday’s unfortunate ending<\/a> ruined a chance for Larson to win all three races in the same weekend. Getting two out of the three wasn’t too bad.<\/p>\n Alex Bowman<\/a> showed some speed this weekend as he put his No. 48 Chevy on the pole. That speed was good enough to keep him in the top five for much of the early run on Sunday. He led the opening eight laps, only for Blaney’s No. 12 to go zooming past. Once Blaney got to the lead he didn’t look back. He held the lead for 24 laps until the teams hit the pitlane for green flag pitstops.<\/p>\n Plenty of green flag racing continued as the pit cycle got all the way through and after that Blaney held serve at the front with Bowman still on his heels. Things got brought back together with less than 10 laps in stage one as Christopher Bell<\/a> who looked near unstoppable just two weeks ago having won three races in a row spun out on the front stretch.<\/p>\n The yellow flag is being displayed as @CBellRacing<\/a> goes for a big slide! pic.twitter.com\/UNN59enNoY<\/a><\/p>\n — NASCAR (@NASCAR) March 23, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nTeam Penske Flounders at Homestead as Kyle Larson Surges Late to Win<\/h2>\n
