Third at Phoenix Larson finished third in the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway Sunday afternoon. Impact Larson flirted with his second NASCAR championship by racing among the Top 10 all afternoon at the Desert Jewel. He didn't have the speed to lead any laps, but he'd chase the leaders all race long. Larson would be riding second-place late and look like a good bet to win the championship, however, Ryan Blaney would track him down and pass him for second-place with 20 laps remaining. That would end up being the difference in the championship as Larson finishes the season runner-up in the point standings.
