Cup RACE thread --- Phoenix

How many playoff championship races (modern playoff) have had a championship winner who wasn’t also the race winner? I know it’s a few(?) but cant remember who. Guess I could go look it up 😬

Nope only one since 2014? Chastain won the race and Blaney came in second to win the Championship trophy.
 
Larson is good they say, searching around the track finding other lanes with grip.
 
What’s Blaney doing up there? This is game 7! He needs to step out the way and let the final 4 take the spotlight. 😉
 
Welp, they gave the four first dibs on pit stalls, qual time didn't matter, fudged up the points so nobody else can get better than 5th..so yeah PlaYoffS.
And told the rest to stay out of the way.
 
We will see what kind of adjustments the others make. I didn't think Jesse Love had a chance for half the race yesterday, then he caught fire........figuratively.
It's still concerning when the 11 gets ran down and passed out of the lead and drops like a rock.
