Blaney here too!

The haters are pointing to Logano’s lowest average finish of any Cup champion to say the system is “broken” but sometimes a wild card team wins it all. It’s just part of the deal, especially when the wild card team is a hall of famer.

Yeah, it's sorta like when the Giants won the Super Bowl as a wild card. They weren't great during the regular season, but got hot at the right time. Joey ran a great race and we all knew before the race that he was just as capable of winning as the other 3.

I'm just relieved Byron didn't win. That would have been far more controversial. I imagine he would have gotten punted tho, lol. I thought he was going to have a big advantage with the timing of the last caution, but all of the other leaders pit, which you never want to happen when you're on 4 or 5 lap old tires. Went from an advantage to a disadvantage pretty quick.

Overall it was a typical NextGen race at Phoenix. Fun restarts, but overall racing was pretty boring.
