NASCAR playoff picture: Cup Series points standings after Homestead

Tyler Reddick’s last-lap pass to win Sunday’s Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead changed the entire complexion of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.

Reddick now joins Joey Logano in the Championship 4, while Kyle Larson slips below the cutoff line. Larson’s spin with 13 laps to go while racing for the lead produced the late-race pit stop and restart that helped Reddick, who had just stopped for tires before the yellow flag, get to the front and eventually take the win.

Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott are resigned to virtual win-or-else scenarios at Martinsville next weekend, the final race before the cutdown to the final four.

Here’s the full playoff picture after Sunday’s race at Homestead:
