NASCAR Cup Series at Phoenix: Entry list, TV schedule for Sunday's championship race
The NASCAR Cup Series seasons ends with the NASCAR Cup Series Championship race on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway.
Kyle Larson, William Byron, Ryan Blaney and Christopher Bell are the championship 4 drivers who will be racing for the title. Blaney's win at Martinsville last weekend knocked Joe Gibbs Racing veterans Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. out of the playoffs.
Kevin Harvick, 47, will race at the final time at what has been his best race track. Harvick has nine wins, the active leader at Phoenix. He won six races in eight starts at the track from 2012-16, one of the best runs by a driver at a specific track in recent memory.
Harvick's final race as a full-time competitor ends a career including 60 wins, a Cup Series title in 2013 and a legacy tracing back to replacing Dale Earnhardt Sr. in the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet after Earnhardt's death in 2001.
