    NASCAR Championship Weekend Schedule at Phoenix Raceway

    NASCAR heads to Phoenix Raceway this weekend for the highly anticipated 2024 season finale. Four drivers in each division will compete for the coveted championship title, with the highest-finishing eligible driver in each series claiming victory.

    Reigning Cup Series champion, Ryan Blaney is prepared for a tough battle heading into the weekend.

    “Everyone’s going to be strong. I don’t think there’s like any favorites, to be honest with you,” Blaney said during media availability Tuesday afternoon. “And I never look at favorites when it gets to the Champ 4 because everyone’s there for a reason. They’re all teams that are really fast and they’re gonna be fast no matter what, any given weekend, at any given track.”

    All times are Eastern.

    This weekend NASCAR travels to Watkins Glen International for the second race of the Cup Series Playoffs.

    It will be the first time the 2.45-mile track has hosted a NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race and it will present unique challenges for the drivers. They have added new rumble strips and interchangeable curbing in the Inner Loop Chicane (the bus stop) and Goodyear is bringing a new tire that is designed to provide more fall-off than the previous tire.

    Due to these changes, Cup Series practice will be extended. The drivers will be divided into two groups and each group will have two 20-minute practice sessions, followed by qualifying in preparation for the Go Bowling at The Glen on Sunday afternoon.

    Saturday’s action will feature the Xfinity Series Mission 200 at The Glen with only two races remaining in the series regular season. Eight drivers have already clinched a spot in the 12-driver field – Justin Allgaier, Cole Custer, Chandler Smith, Austin Hill, Riley Herbst, Jesse Love, Shane Van Gisbergen and Sam Mayer.

    The ARCA Menards Series General Tire 100 will headline Friday’s on-track activities. The Craftsman Truck Series is off and will return to competition September 19 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
