RACE RECAP

Kyle Larson delivered a commanding performance in the Baptist Health 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, converting a 3rd-place starting position into a trip to victory lane. The No. 07 led 20 laps on the day and scored 75 fantasy points. The margin of victory was 1.340.

Layne Riggs (No. 34) finished second, while Corey Heim (No. 11) completed the podium in third. The stage battles added another layer of intrigue: Corey Heim captured Stage 1 and Corey Heim won Stage 2. The race featured 13 lead changes among 4 drivers โ€” Corey Heim led a race-high 78 laps but couldn't convert track dominance into the victory. Track position proved critical on this 1.5-mile layout, where clean air advantage and pit strategy defined the pecking order.

The biggest mover of the race was Jake Garcia (No. 13), who charged from 20th to 7th โ€” a gain of 13 positions that made the No. 13 one of the top fantasy value plays. Daniel Hemric also impressed, climbing from 14th to 5th.

The race wasn't without drama โ€” 1 driver failed to finish. From a fantasy perspective, Kyle Larson led all scorers with 75 points, followed by Corey Heim (61.8) and Layne Riggs (48.3).
