The Motormouths crew recaps Joey Logano’s victory at Las Vegas and explain why winning this specific race is such a boon in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.

Homestead-Miami Speedway in South Florida will host playoff races in the Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series this weekend.

Seven of the eight drivers remaining in the Cup playoffs will be seeking a victory that would advance them to the Championship Four season finale at Phoenix Raceway Nov. 6. Joey Logano secured one of the four spots by winning last Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

John Hunter Nemechek will start the race in the 23XI Racing No. 45 car after Bubba Wallace was suspended one race for crashing Kyle Larson last Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
