Two years ago, Ryan Blaney lost a race at Homestead-Miami Speedway to Tyler Reddick in the final corner.
He refused to let history repeat itself on Sunday, passing Reddick for the race lead in turn 4 with two laps to go to win Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway and take his fourth win of the season.
Reddick took the lead from William Byron on the backstretch with six laps to go after a late restart, but the handling on his No. 45 Toyota faded in the final laps. Blaney ran the high lane to make the pass, and Reddick, running the bottom, had no avenue to hold him off.
The battle for the win was between Reddick, Byron, Blaney, Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin, though Bell never made a charge at the lead and Hamlin hit the wall and dropped to sixth.
