NASCAR season all comes down to 2025 championship race at Phoenix
The guys review William Byron’s Martinsville domination and preview the NASCAR Cup Series championship race at Phoenix. Which driver will win?
- NASCAR’s championship weekend takes place in Phoenix, with races scheduled from Friday through Sunday.
Listen, all you have to do is remember to move your clocks BACK one hour before going to bed Saturday night. We have you covered after that.
Unless you’re actually in Phoenix for NASCAR’s championship weekend. If that’s the case, you might have some ciphering to do. Arizonans, a historically independent bunch, refuse to budge their clocks the two times a year the rest of us do. No springing forward and falling back for them.
As part of that, as we speak, Phoenix is three hours behind us here on the East Coast. Come Sunday, Phoenix will be TWO hours behind us. And they do it without moving a muscle.

Let’s assume the NASCAR teams have someone dedicated to all this. You’d hate to find your favorite driver late to the starting grid. Then again, maybe he’d be an hour early. It’s too confusing for me.
Anyway, here are your weekend race times (all Eastern, thankfully), for the season finale and championships for the Truck, Xfinity and Cup Series at Phoenix Raceway.
By the way, not sure if you have any plans for Hawaii this week, but keep in mind, our 50th state also keeps their mitts off the clock’s hands.
