The moment we’ve all been waiting for in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series has finally arrived—the grand finale.
After a grueling season of 35 races packed with breathtaking moments, dominant victories, and unexpected comebacks, it’s down to one last showdown to determine the champion. Every lap and every turn this season has led to this climactic moment. The series heads to the Arizona desert and the Phoenix Raceway presents a distinctive challenge.
This flat oval is a track some drivers have mastered, while others might wish they were anywhere else but under the Phoenix sun this weekend. It’s a unique stage for an equally unique quartet of finalists, each of whom has clawed their way here.
The chase has whittled down to just four drivers—Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Tyler Reddick, and William Byron—standing in a nail-biting deadlock for the title.
Here is everything you need to know about the NASCAR Cup Series Championship this time around, including viewing options and start time for the race.
