Chastain wins Phoenix as Blaney claims 2023 NASCAR Cup title

Key Facts

He passed Kyle Larson on a restart with 30 laps to go to reclaim the lead and held off a late charge from Ryan Blaney to earn his second win of the 2023 season and fourth of his career – all coming at Trackhouse.
With 100 laps to go, Chastain remained out front, but Blaney had moved into second and held a small advantage over Byron for the championship lead.
Byron and Larson were the first to hit pit road on Lap 240 to kick off a round of green flag stops to take on new tires and fuel to make it to the end of the race.
Once the cycle of stops was completed, Chastain returned to the lead followed by Blaney and Truex with 58 laps to go.
