And there you have it folks. 75 years in the books. Excellent finale, by far the best one at Phoenix. Congratulations to Ryan Blaney for his first ever Cup Series championship. And GGs to Larson, Byron, and Bell. And of course, thank you, Kevin Harvick, for carrying the legacy for Dale and being one of the great characters of the sport, we will miss you. And thank you as well, Aric Almirola.
I’m so proud of Blaney this was my first full season as a fan so having the driver I like since the Daytona 500 in 2020 this means so much congratulations Blaney 🎉🎉
I am very happy that Ryan blaney won at phoenix and the championship. Thank you for the memories Kevin Harvick and Aric almirola! It was very good to see you guys one last ride. Thanks for the 75 years everyone!
@@mountaingreen8360 in any other racing league they should peak at all times, but here in merica the last 10 races is the only one that matters lololololo its more luck based than performance base
Im happy for Ryan.Blaney, grew up as a Big fan of his Dad(Dave) and Grandfather(Lou). He was solid when he had to be for Nascar's now way of a Championship. He wasnt that good alll season , but did what he needed to to get into the playoffs and then was solid. Congratulations
I just knew it from the start of this year that Ryan Blaney would be the champion. He had the speed last year, but just couldn't put it together to win. He really earned it. While I'm not really a Blaney fan, still congrats to him, he earned it!
YES!!! CONGRATULATIONS Ryan Blaney, on your championship! As someone who races at Sharon Speedway, and grew up watching all of the Blaneys, this is great!
As a Ford fan for 54 years, & counting, this was almost as thrilling as the finish between Bill & Alan! Both driving Fords,Bill won the race,Alan won the championship by leading the most laps! Congratulations Ryan,y'all earned this championship! I'm sorry Kevin & Aric didn't have better years. Now we can't say,looking forward to next season, but you sure gave us some damned good years to be proud of y'all!❤
I don’t understand the least deserving comments. This man has been impressive in the playoffs. Key wins great driving. Kudos to Ross for winning the race. Congrats to blaney on the championship. It’s been a decent year n NASCAR
I just hate the playoffs since it’s not something that belongs in auto racing. But blaney did what he had to do and drove his ass off so I’m happy for him
Blaney never had the best pit crew all year. But what's crazy is they made no mistakes today and had decent times but it still wasn't enough. Literally 1 second slower set them back spots. Crazy how competitive this race was.
That dude drove the shit outta that car today, and clearly deserved to win! Tries to race like a gentleman, but every man has his limits. Bringing heart back into the sport!
Congrats to Ryan!! Hell of a race! And cheers to Kyle Larson my man, you couldn't get over the hump but you had a great year too still proud!! And to William Byron and Christopher Bell both had a great year too!
YEEESSS, I CALLED IT. I WAS RIGHT!!! RYAN BLANEY IS A CUP SERIES CHAMPION What a race for the cup today. The three contenders were very close to each other, i had no idea who would win at the end. But in the end, congrats Ryan Blaney for the well deserved title.
There for a while, I thought Blaney was going to lose his patience with Chastain and make a horrible mistake. Glad he kept his composure and won the championship. 🎉
And the true champ, The Melon Man, the one who won the championship race at Pheonix!❤and I can see why some think Blaney didn’t deserve it as much as some others but the CHAMPS, Blaney and The Melon Man!💪🍉
I can’t help but agree with you. There were clear cut regular season favorites and then there were underdogs. These playoffs were probably the most competitive and exciting ones in the history of this format. 14 of the 16 playoff drivers were super competitive and looked like they could all fight for the round of 8 at least. And so many of them showed up and fought for wins at some point. And this finale was incredible. I feel bad for Bell because he looked like he had a shot. Chastain was great in this story too, really testing the patience of our protagonists!
@@ryanmorrison3699 Chastain didn't have a good year, but I don't care if he wins or loses tbh. A lot of the races were good this year, and then having the Chicago race with Van Ginsenbuger racing a few races just made everything that much better. And like you said, as close as the playoffs racers were I think it goes into 2024 with a lot of momentum. Unfortunately the first race is the Coliseum which I absolutely hate.
@@RW-zh7kl Yeah, the Clash isn’t great. I thought it was cool the first year, but now it’s dumb. I absolutely loathe the mid-race concerts and the crowd. Just a bunch of spoiled millennials taking selfies for social status. They’re not real fans. They ought to move the Clash to a real racing market like the Nashville Fairgrounds. And I disagree about Chastain. Top ten in points and two wins, both of which were dominating performances. Last year, his two wins were chaotic flukes where he led only the last lap. Sure, he didn’t make the championship 4, but I think it was still a good season.
Not Joey, but Awesome Job to Team 12 and Penske for taking away the championship from Joe Gibbs and Rick Hendrick. Only thing better would have been KB and RCR win the championship
Ryan Blaney went from not winning a single race all season last year to NASCAR Cup Series champion, I mean if that doesn't make you a fan of this dude I don't know what will
I was expecting Byron, but hey the 12 broke his winless streak 6 months ago at the Coke 600 and look at how things turned out, well done Ryan Blaney. Also random fact the fans already noticed, the last time someone won the Cup Series championship and not the race was Jimmie Johnson back in 2013 it’s been a decade since the last time someone won the Cup Series championship and not the race. So, feel old yet?
A song fit for any NASCAR champion, & that includes Ben Rhodes, Cole Custer, &...of course...Ryan Blaney: "On Top Of The World" by Imagine Dragons. Those three worked their butts off this weekend...& it paid great dividends. Play that song for them!!!
This was weird. Blaney wasn’t the winner and they made it sound like he was. Blaney was 2nd place. Sounds like the announcers got so distracted with the championship they forgot there was a race going on
@@larryhenderson2319you are ridiculous, I’ve read about 10 comments from you that say the same thing. How did he choke? Blaney clearly had the faster car. Great race, great fight by all involved. Your weird infatuation with Larson is ridiculous, he is without a doubt the best all around race car driver that is currently racing. In time he may prove to be the best ever. Let’s see Blaney win a world of outlaw race sprint car or late model. How about the Rolex 24, maybe the chili bowl? Shall I continue?? The numbers do not lie buddy he is unbelievable just enjoy the show….

Couldn’t have said it better myself.
How can a guy wins two races be champion and have another driver win 5 and he gets nothing Nascar socks anymore
@@georgetownsend7205cry about it
In all sports the regular season get's you to the dance. Time to peak is the playoffs. @@georgetownsend7205
@@georgetownsend7205Terry Labonte did it in 1996 with 1 win.
Don't watch NASCAR much anymore but glad to hear that Blaney won the title. I used to pull for his dad when he was racing years ago.
I am from India and I love this race 🤝🏻
I’m so proud of Blaney this was my first full season as a fan so having the driver I like since the Daytona 500 in 2020 this means so much congratulations Blaney 🎉🎉
Congrats to Blaney! 2023 was a heck of a crazy year for the 75th anniversary of NASCAR!
Turn left simulator😂😂😂
Great work Ryan.
What a battle.
Congratulations.

I'm happy for Blaney, even though he wasn't one of the best in the regular season, he grew in the playoffs and definitely had his best season
@@mountaingreen8360 in any other racing league they should peak at all times, but here in merica the last 10 races is the only one that matters lololololo its more luck based than performance base
Well obviously his best season, won the damn championship!!
@@cdel4391 if that’s the case, why are BJ mcleod and JJ Yeley not pulling in wins 1/36th of the time, as your statistics would suggest?
Most likely that was their plan: have very slow cars during the season to save the best engines for the playoffs. That’s how Logano got it last year.
Love it! Ryan Blaney Champion! Love it for his dad Dave Blaney, his family and fans!
Congratulations to Ryan Blaney 🏆
Happy to see Ryan Blaney take the championship!!!
Blaney was extremely impressive, Awesome racing by all drivers NASCAR at its best!!!
Huge congrats to Ryan Blaney! Our new champion and I couldn't be more hyped!

Congratulations Ryan! Not who I was rooting for, but a fantastic run.
Congrats Blaney one heck of a job👍🏽
The last lap, I caught. I was working at Phoenix the entire weekend. Was an absolute blast to see something I have only seen on TV.
Thanks to Kevin Harvick for all the years of great racing enjoy your new life in the booth for Fox
And the blue oval sweeps all three congrats to Ryan Blaney!!
Congratulations to you Ryan 🎉 Nascar ⚡🏁🏆 Cup Champion 🏆🏁⚡ and your Team💥
3:35 you can hear the crowd cheer on Harvick, absolute legend that should’ve won his last race
I've been a Ford guy since 1957. Soo good to see it as NASCAR champ again.👍
congratulations Ryan blaney 🎉❤
Harvick leading laps in his final race. A win would've been awesome, but the old man showed 'em today that he's still got it!
Congratulations to Ryan Blaney on his first NASCAR championship😁🏆

Well, Ford might have struggled early but they won all 3 championships, let that sink in
Congrats to Blaney, Penske, Menards and Ford! A clean driver, and good looking car.
Awesome performance from the top 3
Wow sooo proud of blaney I’m so happy for him n the 12 team

Blaney's first championship victory can you believe!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All 3 championship 4s featured 2 Chevys, a Ford and a Toyota.
All 3 Fords won the championship.
And all 3 Toyotas ended up smashed.
So happy Blaney won!!!❤❤❤❤

Great Race!! Congrats to Blaney on the championship and Chastain for making nascar history!
Blaney vs Chastain vs Truex was good racing there.😎
I don’t understand the least deserving comments. This man has been impressive in the playoffs. Key wins great driving. Kudos to Ross for winning the race. Congrats to blaney on the championship. It’s been a decent year n NASCAR

Didn’t have a Byron winning the 1st and 75th championship, but we do have someone with the initials RB winning the 1st and 75th, congrats Blaney!
Epic race. Epic year.
Pretty Awesome Race!
AWESOME. CONGRATS TO BLANEY 7 CHASTAIN TOTALLY AWESOME

Hell yeah Blaney!
Ford drivers did a great job in sweeping up all 3 titles!👍
And don't forget back-to-back years as NASCAR champions for Ford last year Joey Lagano won it.
I was wanting #24 taking that championship . But Blaney is good too. Stay humble little fella. Emotions are necessary in these moments
Congrats to Ryan!! Hell of a race! And cheers to Kyle Larson my man, you couldn't get over the hump but you had a great year too still proud!! And to William Byron and Christopher Bell both had a great year too!

And back to back years for ford last year with joey lagono

RACE

It a Final Race At Phoenix Motor Speedway In Phoenix Arizona for NASCAR Cup Series.
The playoffs puts NASCAR on the same table as Monty Python.
Get emotional Ryan. You go right ahead and while your at it, GET IN THERE!!!
Why didn’t chastain have this fast of a car all year
What a race! I'm super happy for Ryan Blaney. He deserves to be champion
Get the championship race out of phoenix!!
Why?
Probably because the wrong guy won the championship in his opinion.
Restarts are fun but about only thing plus having the championship race at same track every year gets boring
