HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Blaney has experienced a range of emotions since last Sunday, from disappointment to relief.The No. 12 Team Penske driver was disqualified after the opening race of the round of eight in NASCAR’s playoffs because of an alleged illegal front shock on his Ford.But NASCAR reversed the disqualification a day later because of a flawed template used during the postrace inspection, leaving Blaney with a much smaller deficit to overcome in the playoff field when the round of eight continues Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway.“A lot of emotions,” Blaney said Saturday, “but it was nice that it ended up, I think, as it should have.”Only Kyle Larson has clinched a spot in the championship finale next month — the Hendrick Motorsports driver won the opening race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. But Monday’s reversal restored Blaney’s sixth-place finish in that race and reduced his deficit from 56 points below the playoff cutline to 17.“It’s still go...

I’ve been through so much stuff. It’s been a roller-coaster ride.”Th...
