The 2025 NASCAR season is set to enter the final race of the season, with the championship-4 event at Phoenix. Joe Gibbs Racing duo of Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe will lineup against Hendrick Motorsports duo of William Byron and Kyle Larson for the title. Many including four times champion Jeff Gordon is expecting an impressive finale.
The Hendrick Motorsports vice chairman shared his thoughts on the championship battle between the big three, HMS, JGR and Penske, alongside the finale ahead of them. Jeff Gordon pointed out regardless of which of the three teams made it into the finale, a heavyweight battle was guaranteed and it’s exactly what the fans are getting in the coming week.
I mean, we have a tremendous amount of respect for one another. We’ve battled through some big events and championships in the past. Yeah, it’s Penske, Gibbs and Hendrick that were in this round. You narrow it down to two, which it was going to be. Either one of them was going to be a heavyweight battle, right?
Jeff Gordon said via nascar.com.
The former champion is excited about the heavyweight fight, like rest of the stock car racing fandom. Then he shifted the focus on the chances of his drivers coming out victorious. He is confident that either 2021 champion Kyle Larson or the regular season championship winner William Byron can fly back home as the Bill France Cup winner.
But yeah, no we’re pretty excited to have two-on-two in a heavyweight fight, as you mentioned. I don’t know. Rudy can attest to how confident he is going into that race. I don’t know. I feel like our chances are extremely good.
Jeff Gordon added.
Further talking about the point, the veteran racer pointed out that he is excited about what is ahead of the team after surviving an emotional day at Martinsville. He is looking forward to see how the drivers and the crews are going to work in the cars before one of the most significant race week ever of their career.
Right now I’m excited. Now that we’ve gotten through this, this is an exciting day, a lot of emotion of being able to pull off this accomplishment. Now what I love doing is watching these guys leave here and go to work on what it’s going to take to go win it.
Jeff Gordon asserted.
Jeff Gordon credits Kyle Larson and crew chief for impressive come back
In the same post-race media session, Jeff Gordon talked about how Kyle Larson survived multiple tough streaks throughout the year and is in a strong position to win the title. The racing legend credit the team work between Larson and crew chief Cliff Daniels as the reason for the strong position they are in despite the struggles.
I think that the combination of those two, the people that they surround themselves with, really help them fight through that. I think when the Playoffs started, their performance was there. I think all through the Playoffs they’ve been building up to this point. Yeah, I never count those guys out
Jeff Gordon said.
The racing legends seems to believes HMS has everything to win the championship. But the Joe Gibbs Racing duo is capable of shattering these dreams, with Denny Hamlin being in the form of his life. It would be interesting to see who would come out as the champion on Sunday.
