NASCAR hits Phoenix Raceway today (Sunday, November 10) for the Cup Series Championship race, with only four drivers still in contention for 2024 glory.
Ryan Blaney, William Byron, Tyler Reddick, and Joey Logano all have a shot at lifting the Bill France Cup on Sunday afternoon, and the very latter of those names has a huge advantage after qualifying on Saturday.
Logano will line up second for the race in the #22 car, six places above his nearest playoff rival, Byron, who lines up in P8.
However, there has been one setback for the Team Penske star. NASCAR officials penalized his team after the #22 failed the post-qualifying inspection twice. As a result, car chief Tommy Ellis has been ejected from the team for Sunday's race, while the team have also lost their right to choose their pit stall.
Elsewhere, Reddick is set to start 10th in the #45 as he looks to add to his regular season success by securing a maiden Cup Series championship for both himself and 23XI Racing.
Meanwhile, Blaney in the #12 car has the most work to do of the championship four. The Team Penske driver starts Sunday's race in 17th with some serious ground to make up on all three of his rivals.
With everything on the line, it should be an absolute thriller in Phoenix.
