This weekend, we head to Phoenix Raceway for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race. The race is Sunday at 3pm ET on NBC. On Sunday, William Byron, Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, and Chase Briscoe will fight to win the 2025 Championship. We had a 50-minute practice on Friday, and we have another new tire code at Phoenix. We saw the full tire code at New Hampshire and the left-side tire at Martinsville last season. There was fall off on the long run in practice, which could potentially lead to tires mattering on Sunday. I’ll be using practice data, recent Phoenix data, short-flat track data, recent 2025 speed, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend.
