The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series hits Phoenix Raceway today (Sunday, March 9) for the Shriners Children's 500.
Last time out at the Circuit of the Americas, a change of track layout from an oval to a road course provided a different spectacle, with Christopher Bell coming out as the winner after a dramatic late four-car battle with the likes of Kyle Busch and William Byron.

Bell has now won back-to-back Cup Series races, and it just so happens that he was also the winner at Phoenix last spring, so he will certainly fancy his chances of making it three consecutive victories on Sunday.
However, there are several others to watch out for, perhaps none more so than Joey Logano. Whilst Bell won last year's spring race at Phoenix, Logano was the man victorious at the circuit in November when the Cup Series returned to Arizona for the championship race. The #22 car impressed in qualifying on Saturday and will start on the front row this afternoon.
With Phoenix Raceway having hosted NASCAR since 1988, today's action marks the 56th time that Cup Series cars will race around the track, and it will certainly be exciting to see who prevails after 312 laps of exciting action.
With all of that said, we've got all of the details you need to know below if you want to watch it all unfold live.
