NASCAR Qualifying Today: Cup Series Championship at Phoenix start times, schedule and how to watch live

The NASCAR Cup Series Championship race is finally here, with just four drivers in contention for glory heading to Phoenix.

After a thrilling finish at Martinsville last time out, #12 driver Ryan Blaney ensured his spot in the championship four with Team Penske, whilst William Byron took the final spot via the standings in his #24 Hendrick Motorsports car after Christopher Bell was reprimanded for a safety violation after riding the wall to finish ahead of him.

Blaney and Byron joined 23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick and Team Penske's Joey Logano, with their places having been secure ahead of the Martinsville race after victories at Homestead-Miami and Las Vegas, respectively.

Past victories and points mean nothing heading into Sunday's race, however, with the mandate clear for all four men - finish ahead of the other three and you are the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series champion.

For Byron and Reddick, this would be a debut championship victory, whereas Blaney (2023) and Logano (2018, 2022) have tasted glory before.

Ahead of what should be a thrilling 312 laps, the grid order must be set and with that in mind, we've covered all of the qualifying details you need to know, below.
