Blaney snaps Reddick’s 3-race NASCAR winning streak with Phoenix victory

The man to do it was Ryan Blaney, the last driver to reach victory lane before Reddick’s streak. Blaney won the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season finale at the Avondale, Arizona track.

The Team Penske driver deftly navigated through the field multiple times throughout a caution-filled 312-lap race. His 49 passes got him to the front as the laps wound down, and he kept in front of Christopher Bell, who led 176 laps in Sunday’s race. Blaney led 28 laps, including the final 10.

Blaney, the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion, was relieved to see the checkered flag.

‘I don’t know how many more laps I could’ve hold him off,’ he said. ‘Really proud of everybody at Team Penske.’

He was so focused on getting the win his No. 12 Ford wasn’t completely shut off during his post-race interview.

Bell was disappointed after leading the most laps all day and winning Stage 2.

‘You win some, you lose some,’ he said. ‘This one stings. But on a positive side, I’m really proud of our entire team. The pit crew did amazing … it’s something to build on. It was a day that we needed.’

Kyle Larson, Ty Gibbs and Denny Hamlin rounded out the top-five finishers.

Blaney’s win was significant for Team Penske. The motor sports titan swept two huge races at Phoenix with Blaney taking the checkered flag Sunday and Josef Newgarden winning Saturday’s IndyCar race.

‘Newgarden winning yesterday, us winning today, can’t wait to see Roger [Penske],’ Blaney said.
