2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series season finale @ Phoenix

Wow.. it came down to the last laps between Daniel Hemric and Austin Cindric !
Hemric had not won a race all season long and boy oh boy did he try and tried his damnest all season long.
He placed in the top 5 and even the top 2 so many times, but just could not get that win

Till this last Championship race that is !

Hemric finally won a race this year and it came when it counted the most !

Congrads Daniel Hemric :)

Ironically, Hemric is driving the #18 car in the Xfinity Series

look at that Win column ...wow !!

[dara]

I read a few comments on Twitter about the playoff format. I kind of wish there were more wins by other drivers, and it would have been a shame (a small one) if Larson didn't win. He was dominant in the regular season and in the playoffs, but barely beat Truex. The format did keep fans watching though, otherwise the race would have been an afterthought.

Alex Bowman with 4 wins this season too.
That's impressive from Bowman :)
