Matt Wraps Up the Season with 26th-Place Finish at the NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship
The final race of the NASCAR Xfinity Series season brought all the excitement and intensity of championship racing to Phoenix Raceway on November 9th. While Matt DiBenedetto didn’t make the playoffs, he was determined to finish strong, and he brought the No. 38 home in 26th place, capping off an exciting season full of highs, challenges, and memorable moments.
Phoenix Raceway is known for its unique layout and demanding corners, and Matt took on the final race with the same grit and determination fans have come to expect. Starting mid-pack, he and the team faced intense competition, maneuvering through traffic and making key adjustments to keep the car fighting throughout the day. Despite some tough runs and changes in track conditions, Matt stayed steady, holding his ground and pushing to gain every position possible as the laps ticked down.
“Not the finish we wanted, but I’m proud of the season we put together,” DiBenedetto shared after the race. “This year was full of learning, growth, and some great battles. Big thanks to my crew for all their hard work—we’ll take everything we learned this season and come back even stronger next year.”
