Here’s how to watch Sunday’s NASCAR 2024 Cup Championship race at Phoenix Raceway on NBC and Peacock

Four drivers will seek NASCAR Cup championship history in the season finale Sunday, Nov. 10, at Phoenix Raceway.

Ryan Blaney will look to become the first repeat Cup champion of the elimination playoff era as he and teammate Joey Logano aim to bring Team Penske to its third straight title.

With his record sixth title appearance, Logano is attempting to win his third title in NASCAR’s premier series and his second in three seasons.

William Byron and Tyler Reddick are both seeking their first Cup championship. It’s first place in Championship 4 for Reddick and second for Byron and Blaney, who were both in the title race last season.

This is the second NASCAR race in Phoenix this season. In the March 10 race, Blaney finished fifth, Reddick 10th, Byron 18th and Logano 34th.

It is the fifth consecutive season that the 1-mile oval has hosted the championship round.
