After Josh Berry picked up his first career Cup Series win and the 101st for the Wood Brothers organization at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series made the trip to Homestead-Miami Speedway for the running of the Straight Talk Wireless 400 on Sunday. It was the sixth race of the season and the second straight on a 1.5-mile track.

The first stage was clean and green until Joe Gibbs Racing's Christopher Bell - winner of a series-high three races so far this season - spun down the frontstretch on Lap 70 to bring out the first caution. After a six-lap sprint to the stage break, it was Team Penske's Ryan Blaney holding off pole sitter Alex Bowman for the Stage 1 win.

Before Stage 2 even began, Berry, Hendrick Motorsports' Kyle Larson and defending champion Joey Logano got together on pit road, with Berry and Logano spinning into the pit stalls backwards. The second stage would go caution-free with JGR's Denny Hamlin holding off Larson for the Stage 2 win.

The final stage was slowed only once due to Blaney suffering a blown engine for the second time in three weeks. The race ended with a 61-lap green flag run and appeared to be a battle between Wallace and Bowman until the closing laps when a familiar driver made a late charge forward.

Despite being fourth with 20 laps to go, Larson got around JRG's Chase Briscoe, Wallace and Bowman in the closing laps and pulled away to get the win by 1.2 seconds over Bowman. It is Larson's first win of the season, his second at Homestead-Miami and the 30th of his career.
