Corey Heim entered this race as the overwhelming favorite for the title, but the format meant he had to perform at Phoenix or face losing the title despite a historic season.
He won both stages and led the most laps, but when the race fell into double overtime, he had to fight with everything he had to win the title. Coming from tenth on a two-to-go restart, he drove up to second with a seven-wide pass before ultimately defeating Ty Majeski for the win and the championship.
