NASCAR gathered to celebrate its champions and award winners at the Charlotte Convention Center and NASCAR Hall of Fame, marking a historic first in the sport's modern era.

Joey Logano claimed his third NASCAR Cup Series championship, receiving a solid gold car from Goodyear. At 34, Logano's achievement makes him one of only 10 competitors in NASCAR history to win three championships. He credited his success to Team Penske, his family, and particularly his wife Brittany for her support.

Team owner Roger Penske secured his fifth NASCAR Cup Series championship, with three consecutive wins between Logano (2022, 2024) and Ryan Blaney (2023).
