Homestead did not disappoint, as we all figured, right? Racing all over the track, the best of the best ripped the fence. Maybe we’ll see the championship return next year! With Kyle Larson getting his first win this season, we must update the Belly Up Sports 2025 NASCAR Power Rankings.\u00a0<\/p>
Homestead was definitely another \u201cwhat if\u201d race for Carson. After qualifying decently and showing speed in the car. An annoying mechanical issue ended his day at Homestead. He only has three career cup series starts here, and none of them went well. He has shown more speed already this season. Again, it\u2019s NASCAR, so anything can happen.\u00a0<\/p>
The fall down the rankings continues for Rowdy. I had a little hope for Homestead, well and Vegas but I digress. Kyle hasn\u2019t had good luck at Martinsville either since taking over the 8 car, so I\u2019m not sure what to expect this weekend from the veteran.<\/p>
Had it not been for the results, honestly, I wouldn\u2019t have known Ross was at Homestead. He qualified badly, ran badly, and then finished badly. A weekend to forget. He\u2019s been okay, I guess, as of late at Martinsville, so he should rebound a spot or two possibly on the next update of the 2025 NASCAR Power Rankings.\u00a0<\/p>
He qualified the car well, it looks strong early grabbing stage one points. After getting damaged on pit road, though, the car was never the same. He ultimately finished 17th. Now, this week is an interesting race for Josh. While he didn\u2019t have a great time here in his stint with SHR, no one will argue that 21 seems to be much better. Not to mention, this track suits his driving well.\u00a0<\/p>
