NASCAR Qualifying Today: Phoenix start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series hits Phoenix Raceway today (Saturday, March 8) to set the starting lineup for Sunday's Shriners Children's 500.

Last time out at COTA, Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin's 23XI Racing dominated qualifying, starting in the top two spots for Sunday's race.

However, with COTA being a road course, it represented a very different challenge to Phoenix Raceway, with the track in Avondale, Arizona, being a 1-mile, low-banked tri-oval, with eight degrees banking in turns one and two, and 11 degrees banking in turns three and four.

Christopher Bell won last year's spring race at Phoenix — the same driver who won the race at COTA last weekend — beating the likes of Chris Buescher and Ty Gibbs to the checkered flag. However, it was his Joe Gibbs Racing team-mate Hamlin who won the pole ahead of that event.

Of course, the NASCAR Cup Series returned to Phoenix last November for the Championship race, which, on that occasion, was won by Joey Logano, making him a three-time champion.

It will certainly be fascinating to see which stars perform this weekend, and with that said, we've got all the details you need below if you want to watch the action unfold live.
