Ryan Blaney, Christopher Bell, Kyle Larson and William Byron will compete for a title at Phoenix Raceway
The NASCAR Cup Series Championship comes down to one race.
Four drivers will be competing for the coveted Bill France Cup on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. NASCAR fans are guaranteed there will not be a repeat champion as Joey Logano, who won it for the second time in his career last season, will not be competing for the title.
But it doesn’t necessarily mean the winner won’t be someone they already know.

The track is a 1-mile low bank trioval and has been hosting the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race since 2020. The track will host the title at least through the 2024 season.
It’s the second time during the season the drivers will take on the racetrack. Earlier this year, William Byron picked up the victory. It may give him the edge going into the title race.
