The NASCAR Championship 4 has been finalized after an eventful race at Martinsville Speedway. One driver basked in victory lane while another celebrated with his team on pit road.
Ryan Blaney emerged as the victor at Martinsville, securing the third spot in the 2023 championship race. Meanwhile, William Byron secured the fourth and final position based on points as the highest-ranked winless driver in the third round.
Joining them in the championship race are Kyle Larson, the winner of the Round of 8 opener at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Christopher Bell, who triumphed in the previous race at Las Vegas. These four drivers will battle it out for the honor of becoming the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Champion at Phoenix Raceway next Sunday.
Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr., Tyler Reddick, and Chris Buescher have all been eliminated from championship contention.
Blaney’s triumph at Martinsville marks his third victory of the season. He valiantly fended off Aric Almirola in the closing laps on NASCAR’s historic and smallest track, earning a truly unique prize – a grandfather clock.
