Fifth-Place at Phoenix Elliott finished fifth in the Season Finale 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Phoenix Raceway Sunday afternoon. Impact Elliott's attempt to successfully defend his 2020 championship looked good for a time. He led 94 laps and raced among the Top 5 the entire race. Elliott would lead as late as lap 250, but a caution would shuffle the running order on pit road. The driver of the No. 9 Chevrolet would give way to Kyle Larson and never regain the lead over the final 62 laps. The fifth-place finish was his 15th Top 5 result of the season.
