Ross Chastain interrupted the championship battle to win Sunday’s NASCAR Cup season finale at Phoenix Raceway as Ryan Blaney claimed his first series title.
Chastain, who was eliminated early in the Cup playoffs and led just one lap in the previous nine races, turned out to be too tough for the 2023 title contenders to handle in Sunday’s race. The Trackhouse Racing driver led 157 of the 312 laps but lost his lead during the final round of green flag pit stops.
470 seconds to take the Stage 1 win. Chastain was third, Wallace fourth and title contender Larson rounded out the top five. Championship contenders Bell and Blaney were ninth and 10th, respectively. Stage 2 Buescher passed Chastain for the lead with 14 of 125 laps remaining and held on for the Stage 2 victory. Harvick was third, Byron fourth, Truex fifth and Blaney, the lowest running of the Championship 4 drivers, was sixth.
