As Phoenix's six-year championship run ends, NASCAR's finale delivered two worthy champions whose victories blurred the line between triumph and heartbreak.

Before Trevor Huddleston lifted the ARCA Menards Series West championship trophy at Phoenix Raceway, the idea for his winning car was drawn nearly four decades earlier in a Los Angeles high-school auto-shop class.

The box score from Friday night at Phoenix is going to look clean in the archives. Corey Heim swept Stages 1 and 2. He led 100 of 161 laps. He cleared the defending Champion Ty Majeski on the final restart and won by 0.993 seconds in double overtime. He finished off his twelfth win of the season, extending the Truck Series single-season wins record, and finally left the desert as the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion.
