After a dramatic finale at Phoenix Raceway, NASCAR has crowned its first repeat champion of the 2023 season.
At Phoenix on Sunday, Hendrick Motorsports was dominant, but Kevin Harvick eventually moved to the head of the pack. The experienced racer, known as “The Closer,” claimed the lead on the penultimate stage of his last season of competition, living true to his moniker.
Nevertheless, a warning with 10 laps remaining changed everything. The frontrunners were using different strategies as they filed down pit road after Harrison Burton spun. While many chose to use only two tires, Harvick dropped to seventh after using four.
The following resumption didn’t go in his favor, and once more it was an HMS driver who took the checkered flag. William Byron triumphed for the second week in a row, giving him six Cup victories overall.
After Denny Hamlin and Ross Chastain collided once more at the finish line of the race, Alex Bowman earned his fourth top-ten finish in a row and took over the points lead.
