Fantastic since he was the only Ford in the mix, but even more so because he was definitely not the top choice by many on the Nascar Channel or on TV. The response from his fellow drivers was pretty cool and I have to admit a repeat for Team Penske was welcome as throughout 23 there were plenty of discussions about how the Penske cars were just not that strong and things were not going well. Nice to see the guy I was rooting for win the Championship and it was crazy how Ross Chastain won the Phoenix race and maybe got 2-3 minutes of air time. The focus on the Championship was dominate with Kevin Harvick getting the next amount of time on his last drive --- it was appropriate for him to end at Phoenix where he dominated so often>
