Martinsville Speedway (Martinsville, Va.) — Kyle Larson needs a mere nine points Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway to clinch his third Cup title. And even if he doesn’t earn that many points, Christopher Bell or Denny Hamlin would have to win and earn significant stage points for a shot at Larson, who enters the finale at 67 points ahead of Bell and 70 ahead of Hamlin. Only in four races this year has Larson not scored nine points, including three where he wrecked out of the event. The conventional wisdom would be to maybe go 90 percent at a track where Larson has won two of the last four races. But there’s a problem with that. Homestead is a track that rewards aggressiveness but also riding on the edge and Larson needs a car to match the aggressiveness. It is the only way, he says, he knows how to race Homestead and that's 100 percent running inches off the wall. "For me at Homestead, I feel like when I'm not running the pace that I need to run, I feel like I'm closer to having mistakes pop up," Larson told me and other reporters on Sunday night after a ninth-place finish at Martinsville. "We’ll see, but I plan to go there and just run a normal Homestead race for me. That’s what feels comfortable to me, and that's where I can make consistent laps." The Hendrick Motorsports team has been working on its Homestead plan for several weeks, obviously thinking it would be in a tighter points battle. Larson crew chief Cliff Daniels said he won’t change the plan. "It's going to be very in line for us to stay with the prep that we've already put in place," Daniels told me and other reporters after the race. "There’s so many good things that we've built to get us to this point for Homestead that we’ve got to see it through and we’ve just got to give justice to all the hard work that's put in by not counting it too early. "You’ve still got to put your head down, prepare a good car and go execute a solid weekend." It just seems so counterintuitive. It’s like they are in the perfect position to roll out and play prevent defense and yet they won’t.

The announcement came Monday when Notre Dame released its injury report. Bowen, a senior in his fourth year with the Fighting Irish, has been a key player on the defense not just because of his stats but because he also wears the radio helmet that allows him to relay the defensive coordinator's play calls from the sideline to his teammates on the field. But coach Marcus Freeman downplayed the significance of not having his green-dot guy for Notre Dame's biggest game of the season. "Really, the coach-to-player communication is just more of a backup," Freeman said. "But I'm expecting the stadium to be so loud that the coach-to-player communication ain't helping anybody but the person who has the helmet on." Bowen leads the Irish with 45 tackles this season. His two pass breakups also are tied for third on the team, and he has one fumble recovery. Notre Dame (7-1) is ranked fourth in the Associated Press poll and in Joel Klatt's rankings, and No. 3 in RJ Young's rankings. The Hurricanes (8-0 overall, 6-0 in ACC play) are the No. 1 team in the country in all three rankings. As Klatt has detailed, this matchup has major implications for both teams as far as the College Football Playoff is concerned. "Miami, I think their bye is on the line at Notre Dame, and I think Notre Dame's possible playoff life is on the line." The Associated Press contributed to this report.
