Cole Custer Prevails In Close Phoenix Finish For First Championship
Cole Custer wins his first Xfinity Series championship which game down to a three wide finish
Todd Olivers wins first Xfinity championship as Steve Stone wins his first Xfinity race in the finale
The Xfinity Series Championship was a close one, came down to a tiebreaker! Finishing 4th among the playoff drivers was Lou Demian with 209 points. Matt Minnich finished ten points higher with 219 points to finish 3rd.
The championship went down to Todd Oliver and Jack Thesier both with 230 points. The tiebreaker went down to the bonus driver and that gave Todd that advantage since he had Allgaier while Jack had Nemechek.
Congratulations to Todd Oliver who is your 2023 Xfinity series champion! This completes the trifecta for Todd who now has championships in all three series. He joins Lou Demian and the late Jose Rodriguez as the three time series champions.
Overall this is the 6th total championship for Todd and he becomes the final Xfinity series champion as the league ends after this season.
Also, Congratulations to Steve Stone who gets his first Xfinity Series win in the last ever race. Steve gets to victory lane in his 65th start and becomes the 135th and final Xfinity winner in Lucky Dog Racing.
So that's it, the Xfinity series comes to an end at Lucky Dog Racing. Thanks to everyone who played in the series since 2005 when it was the Busch series still. Congrats to Steve for getting his first win and once again congrats to Todd for winning the championship!
