What a great Truck finale that was. Complete opposite of the literal dumpster fire that was last year's running. Couldn't be happier to see Majeski destroy the field to earn that first NASCAR championship. From the cursed Roush/iRacing 60 Xfinity Ford days to a Truck champion tonight. Well deserved! 👏🏁🏆
@@jrsmith5080 You could make the argument Heim was better. Did you see his drive at the end? Did you also see how, the main reason Heim lost the lead during cautions was because of poor luck on pit road. Of course, there’s also the argument that Heim was more deserving regardless.
@GutsandBlackpowderSweat ya but literally the final run of the race Majeski pulled away from him. Heim had the 2nd fastest truck not the first. He literally said he was 2 tenths faster than everyone expect for Majeski. Heim said Majeski was 2 tenths faster than him
If someone wants to correct me please do but I don't believe Joe Shear Jr ever raced unlike his dad who was a legend. He took the chew chief route instead. There are a lot of cross connections up here in Wisconsin. Matt Kenneth actually took over driving after Joe Sr for his car owner in the mid 90s. Joe Jr was Johnny Sauter's chew chief when he won his championship. Ty started racing in the same area Dick Trickle started. On Friday nights we used to watch Dick, Johnny, Matt, Joe Sr, Robbie, Travis Kvapil, John Knaus, (Chad's dad), and Rich Bickle race each other. Watching Ty race up here is a combination of all of them and he's always the one to beat in his 91 short track car! Congratulations Ty!
Being from Wisconsin and the same county as Majeski is from I’m very happy. Got to see him race locally when he first started racing super late models so this is very cool!
As a Wisconsinite who grew up watch Ty Majeski race at Wisconsin international raceway in Kaukauna Wisconsin feel so surreal now calling him a NASCAR truck champion
Super excited to see Ty get the 'ship. Great guy who just loves to race, saw him at a couple local short tracks this summer during truck off weeks. The guy just loves to race and is one of, if not the best, short track driver in the US. Congrats Ty, couldn't happen to a better dude.
I hope Christian Eckes knows how dumb being selfish was for him in the long run because we all have those situations in life and it's all about what we learn in that moment that defines who we really are...imo
ThorSport has now won 4 of the last 6 titles dating back to 2019 when Crafton, the greatest playoff champion ever, won it. They are the Playoff Penske in Trucks.
Another ThorSport championship … Isn’t that the crappy team that poor ole Hailie Deegan drove for - the one that her fans claimed gave her an uncompetitive car ??
They gave her the equipment to race but they failed to provide her with an environment for success, is what her "fans" are claiming...btw How many wins did her #1 (I think?) get this season, I don't even know who drives the truck and I watch all the races...lol That Conner Zilisch and the other kid with almost the same name will be provided the environment for success, just like Ty Gibbs and William Byron. The same thing happened to her in the X-finity Series but worse...imo I just wonder what happened to Ford in this whole deal and why they pulled their support?
@ - They failed to provide an environment for success? That can be said about ANY driver that did not succeed. And her fans have indeed claimed that her car was inferior to the other team cars, her crew chief sucked or was a nobody, etc. Every excuse that can be thought of has been offered up to explain her lack of success. Just look at the comments on RUclips videos, and you’ll find every excuse in the book.
I was surprised but relived to see/hear that this was the exact opposite of the shitshow we saw last year which is what I was expecting. Glad I was wrong. Good start to the weekend. Hopefully tomorrow and Sunday are like this too though I’m not holding my breath. And Taylor Gray this year is exactly like Noah Gragson 2 years ago: All talk, no action. And I say that as a Gragson fan considering he was all bark about junking Ty Gibbs but didn’t do shit
@@hmsfan9 I was referring to the radio chatter prior to that when he said *We’ll get his ass at Phoenix* so I’m sure NASCAR did as I expected: Stepped in and had a word with him before it was too late
Do you think that this win and title makes the NASCAR $12,500 fine for missing media day to vote in Wisconsin a little easier to stomach - especially after the $10,000 fine to C Smith for his baby slap on Custer (who is sporting a black eye)?
Funny how Phoenix is so mid at Cup races and yet the lower series finales are mostly bangers. (Even in Trucks, while last year's finale was a disaster, the 2022 finale was a really good race with an awesome three-way finish that just so happened to end with the obvious best driver of the year coming out on top, even if that meant denying us three straight years of sloshed Rhodes interviews.)
@@coolcollections As a fellow Australian, it's a shame when Aussies are only able to see the truck races because of a Australian or New Zealand driver. Yes, it's great to see how they do but Australians and New Zealand NASCAR fans want to see every truck race too.
I guess my Chevy Championship sweep predictions aren’t going to happen so if Custer wins tomorrow I’ll go with the Ford Championship sweep with Logano winning on Sunday.
You all drive me crazy u say the super bowl winner is champ? That's one event? How many times has a team like the 2000s colts gone 16 and 0 in the regular season just to be 0and 1 and out in the play offs? The championship in almost every sport isn't the best team all year it's the best team in the play offs.
Eric you were at the presser after, clearly Majeski not a paid driver, was stiffed by RFK and JRM, ThorSport brings him sponsorship, took engineering role to stay in NASCAR, you can't tell me he isn't the underrated underdog, can't believe some fans mad at him winning over heim; with a Championship he should get cup consideration, he is better than a majority of guys who are getting better opportunities, he is carrying that team. Heim brining up Hocevar in post race interview still was funny, salty.
I don’t follow the truck series as closely as I do Xfinity or cup, but I’m glad Majeski won the race and championship. Now he’ll have plenty of money to pay that incredibly asinine fine levied against him for doing his civic duty!
Told you all that the 17 wasnt going to do zhit. Nascar has a big meeting so all the drivers know. You arnt even out hear some of you are more important to the show than others. Any one not important who feels the need to afect a important persons race will face the consequences.
I’m absolutely loving auto racing especially the last few years!!!! I’m a 3rd generation auto worker “UAW local 863” Ford Sharonville Plant in Ohio, been there 25 years 10-25-99! So Ford is in my blood 🩸 ever since I was able to walk 😂 & as the Truck series goes there’s only a handful of Fords on the track & for Ford to take the Championship for the 2nd straight year is AWESOME💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 If Ford can sweep all 3 series 🧹 🧹🧹again……it will be Historic for Ford Racing & Ford Motor Company in General 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽LETS GO!!!!!! 🏆🏁🏆🏁🏆🏁🏆🏁🏆🏁🏆🏁🏆 #00 COLE CUSTER #12 RYAN BLANEY #22 JOEY LOGANO 🏆🏁🏆🏁🏆🏁🏆🏁🏆🏁🏆🏁🏆
The champion truck race was one of the most boring of the year which is disappointing because alot of this year the truck series has been ready than the bush or cup series
This was literally the complete opposite of last year 😭💀
Nice to see Ty get a title win! been a fan since the iRacing 60 Car days

He held them off with older tires !!
Big Congratulations Ty Majeski 😃😃
Congrats to Ty Majeski from being a potential NASCAR bust to becoming the Truck Series Champion.
Cool to see Majeski win it, also so glad we had a nice calm finale the fastest truck won it no stupidity
I disagree. I believe Heim was fastest, and just made a mistake. No disrespect to you.
@@GutsandBlackpowderSweatMajeski was the best truck all night wym. He led like 120 laps

As a fellow Wisconsinite I love this championship
Back to back championships for ford, hopefully they’re about continue through the weekend.
Good race with a deserving winner, solid race to start the weekend
Great race to watch Live! First time ever at Phoenix, great crowd tonight!
Great ending to the year for the trucks. Next year is already looking good!
You know NASCAR was giving full on classes to drivers on how not to embarrass them two years in a row
Thanks Eric
Its kinda insane that Eckes had 22 top 10s and didn't win.
Great race
Eric, there are ALWAYS ifs, ands or buts. But none of those are reality. The winner is the winner, end of story.
joe shear raced at sandusky speedway 25 years ago
Hey Eric fun fact Ty went back to WI this wknd and won a 200 lap feature at La Crosse
Crazy how much better people think of a race when you don't throw phantom yellows with under 10 to go.
Congrats to Majeski
snowball derby december in pensicola,fl. everyone going to be there ty noah and some more on entry list.
My man Majeski ! I was so hoping Eckes would get dumped, but at least he didn't 🏆 win. Bummer for Frankie 🌞 thx OOTG 😊
As an Eckes fan I was hoping he would get the title but it didn’t happen congratulations Ty Majeski he definitely earned that one
I was hoping he would get dumped as a payback, but at least he didn't win. I just think he's a POS 😂

I just saw Chase Elliott‘s car at Universal CityWalk
Can't wait to see Eckes in Kaulig through Xfinity next year
Thought it was Heim time this year 😂
Can’t deny the success of Wisconsinites past and present… but the accent makes me want to pull my hair out 😵💫
Well deserved title what a drive.
The layout of this track is ridiculous. Looks like a Joker lap every lap
The Indy cars were cool when the ran Phoenix, I wish they'd run there nowadays
I hope it's the yr of the veterans for all series majeski Algier lagono
Ty is great in trucks but he'd look good in one of those Haas Factory cars in Xfinity.
he got screwed by Roush, i think he deserves another shot with a good team...
Enjoyed this title victory. Good ol` fashion butt kickin` .
Definitely a WAY better race then last year and more deserving champion too. Overall a good race and a good Truck series season
Just gonna clear the air here.. bye.do t wa happen. I bow out...
Looks like the truck guys are finally learning how to actually race
Being from Wisconsin and the same county as Majeski is from I’m very happy. Got to see him race locally when he first started racing super late models so this is very cool!
Home town boy makes 💙 👍 good
How did his appeal go?
If a Ford wins the xfinity championship…GUARANTEED nascar gets Lagano the Championship
As a Wisconsinite who grew up watch Ty Majeski race at Wisconsin international raceway in Kaukauna Wisconsin feel so surreal now calling him a NASCAR truck champion
Majeski wins. Glad to see Wisconsin on the board. I live in Wisconsin a few miles from where he's from. Watched him for years in southern wisco
Ty Majeski is the 🐐
Cya

Could Ford sweep Phoenix again...Hmmm.

Nothing is going to change. Ben Rhodes has won 2 championships in a Thor sport car and nothing has changed for him.
I picked Ty to win the championship once Ben got eliminated and he ended up doing it. I need Cole to win tonight and Blaney to win Sunday.
By God, I'll second the notion.... I like the way you think 🤔 @Fly'inryan0124
Do you like Phoenix as the chip race?
Best part of the night was when you gave a fist bump, walking back to the infield from the championship ceremony

call me a skeptic, but it was odd that a meh team that has been caught cheating before dominate the entire field.
"a truck series finale that DIDN'T develop into total anarchy. What did we do to deseve this?"
Eckes , sounds like he should have bagged tge title, but this why we watch and love racing, good job TY, proud of you, been a fan all season
An Eric picks wrong championship winner again 😂
If it was total points It would've been Christian Eckes by 100 points over Corey Heim. Ty Majeski would've been 3rd.
You should stopped in and help count some votes, they seem to not know how to count

Ty Majeski Eric's favorite truck driver confirmed??? 👀👀👀
Well It was his pick on the podcast
@jakehobby3477 oh really? I thought in an earlier video I saw him say he thought Eckes was gonna win it
I guess my Chevy Championship sweep predictions aren’t going to happen so if Custer wins tomorrow I’ll go with the Ford Championship sweep with Logano winning on Sunday.
Well they can't the owners championship in the Xfinity Series but Ford could still get 5 out of 6 on the drivers and owners championship.
it will not change one ounce his good it's all about $$$$ for good rides
I get so tired of undeserving champions in Nascar. Eckes and Heim is the only answer it should have been. F1 atleast still has a legit system
If you look up the definition of Championship it does not mention one event. So they should call it something else maybe just Phoenix winner 😂
You all drive me crazy u say the super bowl winner is champ? That's one event?
