NASCAR results: Cup Series Championship results

Team Penske’s Joey Logano has become a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion – a feat that only a handful of drivers have been able to accomplish over the years.

We’ll dig into the full race results below, but let’s find out just how Logano took victory.

NASCAR Cup Series championship: Joey Logano takes victory

Four drivers entered the NASCAR Cup Season finale eligible for the championship: Joey Logano, Ryan Blaney, Tyler Reddick, and William Byron. The driver to finish highest in the running order at Phoenix Raceway would be the victor.

And for ultimate victor Logano, it looked as if he’d be playing catch-up for the duration of the event.

Of all the championship four, Logano started the race highest in the running order, in second place. The No. 22 Team Penske driver had a great start that launched him into the lead of the race and saw him take the Stage 1 win.

But a poor pit stop at the start of Stage 2 saw Logano fighting back up the running order. The right-front tire changer fumbled a tire change, and his front jack man keeled over almost immediately afterward with an inexplicable illness.

The crew worked quickly to replace the jack man with one from the No. 2 Penske crew of Austin Cindric.

Though the pit issue didn’t see Logano lose a disastrous number of positions, it did shift the race-winning potential to is Penske teammate Ryan Blaney for much of the middle section of the race.

But a yellow flag late in the race and a poor start from Blaney tipped the scales yet again. William Byron took a lead that Logano quickly stole away, and even Blaney’s hard-charging run to the end wasn’t enough.

Logano held his lead through to the checkered flag, becoming a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion. His previous two championships came in 2018 and 2022.
