This is the second straight season that NASCAR will hold Championship Weekend at Phoenix Raceway. Last year was the first time since the event began in 2002 that it was not hosted at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

In the first trip to Phoenix this season, Truex Jr. came away with a win in the Instacart 500, leading 65 laps in total. The three other contenders for the Cup all finished in the top 10 with Hamlin coming in third, Elliott fifth and Larson seventh. Larson and Hamlin started the race second and third, behind pole-winner Brad Keselowski.

The other finalists for the cup have had recent success in Phoenix as well. Elliott won the Finale last fall, and Hamlin won in the fall of 2019. Larson has never won in the desert but placed in the top five a number of times, including a third-place finish in the fall of 2018.

Practice will begin at 4 p.m. ET, on NBCSN.
