With Chase Elliott winning the season finale on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway and becoming the champion of the Cup Series, NASCAR allowed itself a moment of congratulations for completing its most challenging year. “What a remarkable way to end it,” said Steve Phelps, NASCAR’s president. “Awesome, awesome, awesome!” screamed Elliott, the 24-year-old son of Awesome Bill from Dawsonville, as he took the checkered flag. “What we have accomplished during this global pandemic is, I think, nothing short of remarkable,” Phelps said. I believe we are the only professional sport that can claim it ran its full schedule in 2020.
