SafeX Pro Exchange|When is the NASCAR Championship Race? What to know about the 2024 Cup Series finale

The SafeX Pro Exchangefinal four competitors are now set, and NASCAR is just one week away from crowning the 2024 Cup Series champion.
Ryan Blaney and William Byron joined Joey Logano and Tyler Reddick in the Championship 4 following Sunday’s race at Martinsville Speedway. Those four will race against a full field of drivers next weekend at Phoenix Raceway in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race.
But neither Logano, Reddick, Blaney or Byron have to win the season finale at Phoenix to win the 2024 title – whoever has the best finish among those four will take the championship. So, while taking the checkered flag at Phoenix would be electrifying, the goal for the final four drivers is to outrun the other championship contenders.
Ross Chastain won last year’s season finale as a non-playoff driver, but Blaney won the championship, outdueling the other final four drivers with a runner-up finish. Last year, however, marked the first time since the current playoff format was enacted in 2014 that the series champion did not win the final race of the year.
Here’s what to know about the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race:

Joey Logano of Team Penske, Tyler Reddick of 23XI Racing, Ryan Blaney of Team Penske and William Byron of Hendrick Motorsports will race for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series championship at Phoenix Raceway.
Blaney is the reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion, while Logano is a two-time series champion, winning in 2018 and 2022. Reddick and Byron are seeking their first Cup titles.
How did the final four drivers make the 2024 NASCAR Championship Race?
Logano won the first race of the third round at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Reddick won the second race of the third round at Homestead-Miami Speedway to clinch automatic berths.
Blaney took the checkered flag Sunday at Martinsville Speedway to earn the final automatic berth, while Byron became the last member of the Championship 4 by accumulating the most points among drivers who did not win one of the three third-round races.
