Ryan Blaney emerged victorious in an overtime finish to Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway. Blaney held off Brad Keselowski, his former teammate, by a margin of 0.097 seconds to score the race win.

While the battle for the win was something, the main focus was on the battle for a championship. While Denny Hamlin led the race with three laps to go, a late-race caution sent the overtime, which allowed multiple pit strategies to jumble the running order.

As a result, Kyle Larson was able to drive to a third-place finish, which secured him the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series championship over Hamlin, who came home in the sixth position.

Chase Briscoe, with an 18th-place result, was third in the championship battle, while William Byron was the fourth-place driver in the championship fight after a 33rd-place finish.
