This weekend, we head to Phoenix Raceway for the NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship Race. The race is Saturday night at 7pm ET on the CW. We have Austin Hill, AJ Allmendinger, Cole Custer, and Justin Allgaier battling for the Championship. Aric Almirola and JGR are in the Owners Championship instead of Cole Custer. Phoenix Raceway is a 1-mile oval and considered a short-flat track. I think Phoenix comps best with Richmond, but I also use New Hampshire. Teams have run this same tire combo at Phoenix since 2022. The race winner has started inside the top 5 in 8 of the last 10 races here, including the spring race with Chandler Smith starting 2nd. I’ll be using recent Phoenix data, short-flat track data, 2024 speed, practice, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend. Qualifying is at 4pm ET on Saturday; I will have projections posted by 6pm ET.

The stages are 45, 45, and 110, which is a total of 200 laps. With 200 laps, we’re looking at a potential of 90 fastest lap points and 50 laps led points. There have been at least 8 cautions for at least 46 laps in 6 of the last 8 XFINITY races here. Even after the cautions, we’re looking at 120ish dominator points. Looking at recent optimal lineups here, roster construction has been all over the place.
