With a win at Las Vegas Josh Berry clinched one of the four spots in the Championship 4 at Phoenix. Now the NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Homestead where another spot could be clinched. Even though there are two more race left until the Championship 4 drivers/owners are officially set, there are still a few scenarios in which a driver/owner can clinch their spot. Granted most of the scenarios include winning but no matter what else happens in the race Saturday afternoon, if the scenario happens then the ticket is punched to the Championship 4.
*Denotes that scenario does not including the scenario with the driver who wins the race
