William Byron wins with one race left to go in the season. Kyle Larson has the championship all but locked up. He still needs a competitive drive at Homestead, but it's now his to lose.

Talladega race result
Kyle Larson wins the race and takes a firm lead in the chase. There's only two races left and he has a 73 point lead over Denny Hamlin. That's a long way for Denny to come back and try to grab his first ever championship. But, there's still a slim chance he can rebound. Not very likely, but there's a chance.
Unlike our Pool where Al had it locked up weeks ago! The guy has over a 240 point lead, which is incredible. I don't think I've seen another season where the winner has beaten everybody by that much! It's been a great season for Al, gonna have to steal all his picks for next year! ;)

Phoenix race result
Tyler Reddick wins the Phoenix race! It's been a long time since Tyler has gotten a decent result. Good to see them back in the winner's circle.
Kyle Larson still leads the championship, but the field has tightened up for the last three races! It's anybodies championship to win for the Top 5, maybe Top 6? Joey Logano is less than 50 points back in 6th place. Maybe he has a chance, but that's pretty close with all the points available for every race.
Our pool leader is so far ahead that nobody is going to catch Al, in fact he probably sealed the win a dozen races ago. Really great season for Al leading the pool! I just counted and he took the lead for good 19 races ago! Way to pick the drivers, Al!
