Ryan @Blaney was, "Proud of the effort," from his No. 12 @Team_Penske group as he climbed from 17 points below the cutline to 10 points above it on the strength of a runner-up finish at Homestead. Now, he heads to Martinsville -- one of his best tracks. https://t.co/8uUySemy1U

After a disappointing day at Homestead, Chris Buescher faces pretty much a must-win at Martinsville. How does he feel about his chance to go there and do just that? https://t.co/rwTodX3O4R
Tyler Reddick was third at Homestead and leaves 10 points behind the cutoff. So it was a good and also frustrating day considering he felt he had potential race-winning speed. https://t.co/EIvmUABu7y
William Byron will take a fourth-place finish from Homestead and a cushion in the points of 20 on Ryan Blaney (currently last driver who would be in) and 30 on Tyler Reddick (first out). What he said after Homestead about his race and going to Martinsville. https://t.co/Wc3ckU77Zu

Christopher Bell doesn't want to be 'The Closer.' That role is forever associated with Kevin Harvick. He just wants to be 'Christopher Bell' but lord is that dude becoming clutch in a similar kind of way. https://t.co/Mx6xRCfkoE

Christopher Bell at one time gave a snarky response to his team that he would start trying when they told him to try to stay on the lead lap. Bell could laugh about it after a sweet victory. From victory lane: https://t.co/9VNB9pLvOe
🥈 A day mixed with opportunities to win & frustrating moments culminated in a runner-up effort for Ryan @Blaney — who leads @HomesteadMiami above the elimination line heading to Martinsville. “I really didn’t want to see that red flag.” On @NASCAR.com: https://t.co/BUcoBCVVLw
Ryan Blaney said he needed more laps at the end as he had a better long-run car. He wasn’t real sure what happened in the Kyle Larson incident as it was all in his mirror. https://t.co/BofyhWYtLB
