A new NASCAR Cup Series will emerge at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday afternoon in the season finale, and four drivers have a chance to make history in the final race of the 2023 playoffs.
Kyle Larson, William Byron, Ryan Blaney and Christopher Bell all survived playoff elimination to advance to the Championship 4. Larson is looking to win his second career title in the last three years, while the other three drivers are vying for their first championship.
Each driver in the Championship 4 will begin Sunday’s race equal on points, and there will be no stage points awarded. Whoever records the best finish will win the title – and Byron has the early advantage, having won the pole for Sunday’s race.
The NASCAR Cup Series championship race will begin at 3:00 p.m. ET on NBC. You can stream the race on Fubo.
Here is the starting lineup for Sunday:
