Phoenix Raceway

Jordan Traas delivered a championship-winning performance at Phoenix Raceway, advancing from his fourth-place starting position to capture his first ATC Trucks Series title in dominant fashion. The #79 driver executed a flawless race strategy, avoiding the minimal carnage that plagued other contenders while steadily working his way to the front of the field. With just one caution period spanning three laps across the 130-lap distance, Traas demonstrated the consistency that had carried him throughout the season, finishing incident-free to claim maximum points and seal the championship with 41 points earned.

Mitchell Williams provided the perfect complement to Traas's title run, climbing from fifth to second place while also recording a clean race with zero incidents. The #54 driver's 37-point haul wasn't enough to close the 112-point championship deficit, but his runner-up finish ensured a strong conclusion to his campaign. Pole-sitter Tyler Lester completed the podium in third aboard the #01 machine, though his four incidents prevented what could have been a wire-to-wire victory from the top starting spot.

The story of the race belonged to John Crosby, who delivered the performance of the day by charging from 14th to fourth place for a remarkable 10-position gain that earned him hard charger honors. Despite collecting four incidents along the way, the #73 driver's aggressive approach through the field showcased the kind of racecraft that makes Phoenix such a compelling venue. Michael Wegscheider also impressed with a six-position climb from 15th to ninth, while several front-runners struggled, including Tiyler Walts who fell five spots from third to eighth.

Traas's victory margin in the final standings proved decisive, with his 567 total points establishing a commanding 116-point gap over Williams's 451. The championship represents the culmination of a season-long campaign where Traas entered the finale already holding a substantial lead, then delivered when it mattered most. Joe Spinelli's 23 points moved him into third in the final standings at 368 points, while Todd Parent remained static at 349 points to finish fourth, and Charles Van Schaick's clean fifth-place run vaulted him into the top five with 327 points.
