The NASCAR Chevy teams had a lackluster day at Homestead-Miami Speedway on October 27th, 2024. Though many of the 10 finishers belonged to The Bow Tie brand, they made up the back half of the frontrunners while a Ford and Toyota duked it out for the race lead on the last lap.
In fact, the best NASCAR Chevy team was the No. 9 Chevy Camaro ZL1 of Chase Elliott, who brought it across the line in fifth place. Elliott led 81 laps throughout the thrilling race, but fell behind when a series of late-race caution periods slowed the field and neutralized his chances at maintaining the top spot.
Elliott was followed by his NASCAR Chevy teammate, William Byron, who came home sixth in the No. 24 Camaro. Alex Bowman’s No. 48 Camaro – which is not championship eligible – pulled off a seventh-place result.
AJ Allmendinger wheeled the No. 16 Camaro to an eighth-place finish, followed by Carson Hocevar in the No. 77 NASCAR Chevy, who finished ninth.
Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 5 Camaro, was the cause of the final caution with 12 laps to go. While racing with the No. 12 Ford Mustang Dark Horse of Ryan Blaney, Larson made contact and spun out. He recovered to finish 13th while the No. 45 Toyota TRD Camry of Tyler Reddick went on to win.
