The countdown is over. NASCAR Championship Weekend 2025 has arrived at Phoenix Raceway, bringing an adrenaline filled lineup of races, driver interviews, and surprise announcements. The weekend is packed with action across the ARCA Menards, CRAFTSMAN Truck, Xfinity, and Cup Series, all building up to the NASCAR Cup Series finale. Whether you are rooting for veterans like Denny Hamlin or rising stars like Jesse Love, this is where the champions will be made.
All eyes are on the final four drivers going head to head for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series title. Denny Hamlin, Chase Briscoe, William Byron, and Kyle Larson are set to battle it out at Phoenix Raceway. Each brings a unique storyline and serious momentum into the finale.
Hamlin enters with unfinished business and years of experience. Larson is a former champion looking to add another trophy. Byron has been one of the most consistent racers this season, and Briscoe is the wildcard with something to prove. These four drivers will speak to fans and press in the lead-up to Sunday’s main event, and only one will leave with the title.
Every day of the weekend features big moments and fan favorites. Thursday kicks off with Media Day, where stars from the Cup, Xfinity, and Truck Series give insights ahead of the race. Expect appearances from names like Ty Majeski, Carson Kvapil, and Justin Allgaier.
Friday and Saturday are stacked with qualifying rounds and races from the ARCA Menards, CRAFTSMAN Truck, and Xfinity Series. Post-race celebrations include press conferences with winners, owners, and crew chiefs.
Sunday is the big one. Before the final race, fans can enjoy major announcements from Phoenix Raceway and NASCAR, including sweepstakes and future plans. Then it is time for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Championship race. After the checkered flag, the winner will take part in a live celebration and interviews to close out the season.
