After 35 races plus two exhibitions, NASCAR will hold its final race of the season and crown the 2024 Cup Series champion on Sunday.
Four drivers – Ryan Blaney, William Byron, Joey Logano and Tyler Reddick – will race against each other and the rest of the field in the NASCAR Cup Series Championship race at Phoenix Raceway, each one seeking to end the season with the ultimate prize.
The final four drivers emerged from a 16-driver playoff field and navigated nine playoff races to reach this point. Logano, Reddick and Blaney each won a race in the third round to advance to the championship, while Byron secured his position on points.
Blaney, the defending series champion, and Logano, a two-time Cup Series champ, drive for Team Penske and can bring the organization its third consecutive title. Byron, who drives for Hendrick Motorsports, and Reddick, who drives for 23XI Racing, are each seeking their first Cup championship.

The NASCAR Cup Series Championship race is 312 laps around the 1-mile oval at Phoenix Raceway for a total of 312 miles. The race will feature three segments (laps per stage) — Stage 1: 60 laps; Stage 2: 125 laps; Stage 3: 127 laps.
Who won the most recent NASCAR Cup races at Phoenix?
Christopher Bell led 50 laps, including the final 41, before cruising to a win over Chris Buescher by 5.465 seconds on March 10, 2024.
And one year ago in the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Championship race, Ross Chastain led 157 laps, including the final 31, before holding off Ryan Blaney by 1.230 seconds. Since Chastain was not a Championship 4 driver, Blaney's runner-up finish was enough to win the 2023 title.
