00:00Phoenix, the playoffs are over, the year's over.
00:03It's been a great 2024.
00:05We've seen some of the most incredible finishes ever
00:08and we saw a great finish yesterday.
00:10The season came down to those final laps
00:14and it was between teammates, Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney.
00:18Ryan Blaney put everything he had into it.
00:21Two weeks in a row, man.
00:23He left nothing on the table, two weeks in a row.
00:26But Joey Logano was not to be denied.
00:30Joey Logano seized control of that race
00:32and we talk about it all the time.
00:34You put Joey Logano in the first two or three rows
00:36on a restart, he's gonna bring home a trophy.
00:39You give Joey Logano a lead in the last 25, 30 laps
00:44of a championship race, he's not gonna be denied.
00:47He seizes control, he takes the trophy,
00:49he takes the championship.
00:51His third championship, people, third championship.
00:55Now this is something I don't understand.
00:57I don't understand why, as I see on Twitter
01:00and all X or whatever you call it now,
01:03that why so many people are complaining
01:05and saying he doesn't deserve it.
01:06Listen, we celebrate a 16th seed in the NCAA Tournament.
01:12It's the Cinderella story,
01:13it's the greatest story in the world.
01:15It's America, people.
01:17They make it to the final four in the NCAA Tournament.
01:21We take a guy that you guys or that fans perceive
01:24doesn't belong there and he wins a championship
01:26and we say he doesn't deserve it, he doesn't deserve it.
01:29Let me tell you something, you win a championship
01:31at the cup level, you survive 36 races during the season,
01:36you deserve that championship.
01:38He has risen to a place in the sport
01:41that few others have ever gone.
01:42Only 10 guys have ever won three or more championships.
01:46Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Sr., Jimmy Johnson,
01:50Jeff Gordon, Lee Petty, David Pearson,
01:53Kel Yarbrough, Daryl Walter, Tony Stewart,
01:56and now Joey Logano at 34 years old.
02:01Listen, Kyle Busch, 39, two championships.
02:04Kyle Larson, 32, one championship.
02:08Joey Logano has separated himself from the pack.
02:11He is an incredible driver, give him credit.
02:14He is our 2024 champion, well-deserved.
02:19Congratulations, Joey Logano.
