Event Preview
The 2025 champion will be crowned at Phoenix Raceway this weekend, as the season-ending NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race will be staged. A pulsating finale is set, with four drivers vying for the top spot in the overall standings.
Chase Briscoe leads the way coming into the final round, despite finishing 37th in last weekend’s Xfinity 500. Despite that poor showing, he has still won twice during the playoffs and has finished outside of the top ten on just two occasions.
Denny Hamlin has enjoyed a season to remember, winning twice during the playoffs. However, Hamlin could have the most questions to answer after finishing outside of the top 20 in three of the last four races.
Kyle Larson is no stranger to challenging for the championship, and his fifth-place finish last weekend ensures that he arrives to Arizona in excellent form. Larson’s previous win in the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race could give him a notable advantage over the field this weekend.
William Byron’s win in the Daytona 500 earlier this season has set the tone for his campaign. But, despite a loss of form, he firmly re-entered championship contention last time out after a dominant win in the Xfinity 500.
NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race Picks
A fascinating four-way fight for the championship is set for this weekend, and cases can be made for all drivers. However, the confidence gained last weekend could prove crucial for Byron. His consistency throughout the campaign deserves huge respect, as he bids to win the Cup Series championship for the first time.
