How the final four Chase drivers perform at Homestead
This weekend in Homestead comes down to four drivers: Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick and Ryan Newman.
Here’s how each driver has performed at the 1.5-mile track in southern Florida:
| Stat | Logano | Harvick | Newman | Hamlin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Races | 5 | 13 | 12 | 9 |
| Wins | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Top 5's | 0 | 5 | 1 | 4 |
| Top 10's | 1 | 11 | 4 | 5 |
| Poles | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Laps Run | 1,234 | 3,475 | 3,054 | 2,399 |
| Laps Led | 0 | 136 | 143 | 163 |
| Avg. Start | 18.0 | 14.0 | 12.4 | 29.2 |
| Avg. Finish | 20.8 | 8.1 | 17.0 | 11.2 |
Harvick has driven in the most Cup races in Homestead, but Ryan Newman has the best average finish (12.4) and Denny Hamlin is the only driver out of the four two win a race there (4), and has also led the most laps within the group.
When the green flag waves on Sunday, these stats will become a moot point, as whoever finishes the race in the highest position wins the championship.
