The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series champion will be decided in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway.
Ryan Blaney, Tyler Reddick, Joey Logano and William Byron are racing for the 2024 Cup Series title, with Blaney competing for a repeat after winning last season.
Reddick and Byron are competing for their first Cup championships, while Logano can reach rarified air with his third Cup title.
Here are The Tennessean’s expert picks for the NASCAR Cup Series championship, which is decided in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Phoenix:

NASCAR predictions for Cup Series Phoenix race: Here’s who wins the Cup Series Championship
Mike Organ’s pick: William Bryon, No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet
It’s been a topsy-turvy year for Byron, who somehow managed to make it back to the championship. He’s winless in his last 27 races so he’s not exactly coming in with great momentum, but he’s been good in Phoenix in the past.
Tom Kreager’s pick: William Byron, No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet
Byron is the last one standing from Hendrick’s fleet of drivers. I’ve got to think he’s going to get everyone’s attention from the team this week in an effort to bring home a championship. Oh, and he also has a win and four top-3 finishes at the track.
Nick Gray’s pick: Ryan Blaney, No. 12 Team Penske Ford
Blaney has been very good at Phoenix, even discounting his run to the 2023 Cup Series title last season. It’s time for someone from the younger generation to build a legacy as the best young driver. Blaney has been consistent and good all year.
