Blaney bested three other title finalists to win the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series championship Sunday at Phoenix Raceway.
Ryan Ross Chastain won the race, marking the first time a non-championship-eligible driver won the season finale since NASCAR shifted to an elimination playoff format in 2014. Blaney beat William Byron, Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell to win the championship. It was his first series title and the fourth for Team Penske, which also won the 2022 championship with Joey Logano. Advertisement Byron started on the pole and dominated the early going, leading every lap in Stage 1.
I’m super, super proud of this 20 team and all of our partners at DEWALT and Rheem. To be in the Final 4 is something we’re really proud of.” Significance of Blaney’s championship Earlier this year, NBC Sports analyst Kyle Petty controversially compared Blaney to former NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne. Though Kahne won 18 races in his career, he never seemed to live up to the potential he teased at times. Blaney, Petty said, was the same way.
