CONCORD, N.C. - Sunday's main event at Phoenix Raceway was full of excitement in the closing laps. And after 36 points-paying races, Kyle Larson was crowned the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series champion. But in a series where winning is ever more difficult to come by, plenty of stories remain throughout the field.
Kyle Larson was equally happy and sad Sunday at Phoenix. He was elated to score a comeback second championship, but sad it came at the expense of Denny Hamlin.
Kyle Larson pushed back hard on talk that money drives his career. He said he loves racing and plans to stay in NASCAR for a long time ahead of Sunday's Cup Series Championship race.
