The official record shows William Byron finished third on Sunday (Oct. 6) at Talladega Superspeedway and Christopher Bell was sixth. In a race that usually amounts to a demolition derby, and Sunday (Oct. 6) was that, taking a chance is not worth it if you’re in a position to advance by way of points to the next round of the playoffs.

Ryan Blaney was not concerned about being the first Cup Series driver to win a championship with a second-place finish in NASCAR’s current playoff series format. Blaney won the 2023 Cup Series title on Sunday at Phoenix as he crossed the finish line behind Ross Chastain but ahead of fellow championship contenders Kyle Larson and William Byron.
