NASCAR: Winners And Losers From Homestead
By Cole Mentzel
Winner: Top-10 Finishes
It was a day of celebration for Jimmie Johnson, but a few other drivers had something to be proud of after their outings at Homestead.
Kyle Larson, who led 132 laps and controlled most of the race, was ultimately passed by Johnson late but still registered another second-place finish.
Jamie McMurray used a late run after that huge wreck to work his way into the fifth-position, where he would go on to finish. It was just his second top-5 of the season and his best finish since the spring race at Talladega.
A.J. Allmendinger captured his ninth top-10 of the season as he finished in eighth-place, serving as his fourth top-10 in the last six races. Michael McDowell was another driver who had a great day as he finished 10th, earning his second top-10 of the season and the fourth of his Cup Series career.
That late wreck involving Carl Edwards, Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski, among others, opened the door for a few drivers to pick up solid finishes on the day.
