With the Championship 4 solidified, all eyes head westward as the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs — and 2025 season — conclude with the NASCAR Cup Series Championship at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday (3 p.m. ET, NBC, Peacock, HBO Max, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
Chase Briscoe, Denny Hamlin, William Byron and Kyle Larson will battle for the coveted Bill France Cup in the desert during Championship Weekend, with three of those pilots — Briscoe, Hamlin and Byron — looking to claim their first Cup Series crown. Larson, meanwhile, will aim to win his second Cup championship; his first since 2021. Through Briscoe and Hamlin, Joe Gibbs Racing will vie for its first driver title since the 2019 campaign, while Hendrick Motorsports — via Byron and Larson — will look for its first since 2021.
Casey Mears closes the 2025 campaign as driver of the No. 66 Garage 66 Ford. The 47-year-old Mears has competed in four Cup Series races this season with the team, most recently finishing 33rd at Martinsville Speedway last weekend.
