As the playoffs for the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season tightened ever further, the pressure on the final eight drivers and teams intensified, culminating in the season finale at Phoenix, where the title was decided. It all unfolded on the last two episodes of NASCAR 2020: Under Pressure, an in-depth, seven part series that chronicled a year on the track unlike any other in NASCAR’s illustrious history.
In episode six “Meet the Moment” that debuted on Saturday, December 5, only on the MotorTrend App, the action picks up with just three races left to qualify for the championship race: Kansas, Texas, and Martinsville. The pressure is on as the window closes for eight teams trying to position themselves for the title. Four drivers will move on while the other four are left to wonder what might have been..
In the finale, “Let’s Go” which premiered on December 12 it’s down to four drivers, one race, one champion. It’s a duel in the desert as the Championship Four drivers face off at Phoenix to become the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series Champion. It’s also a goodbye as NASCAR salutes retiring seven-time champ Jimmie Johnson. (Check out a preview of the “Let’s Go!” episode below.) Spoiler alert: Chase Elliott is the 2020 NASCAR Series Cup Champion.
