It’s time to crown a NASCAR Cup Series champion.
The NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race is set for 2 p.m. CT Sunday at Phoenix Raceway.
Ryan Blaney, William Byron, Joey Logano and Tyler Reddick are racing for a championship after Blaney, Logano and Reddick each earned wins in the Round of 8. Byron got the final spot on points after Christopher Bell was penalized for a safety violation on the final lap at Martinsville.
The highest finisher among the four will win the championship, regardless of one of the four winning the race itself or not.
