Get up to speed on Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series championship event at Phoenix Raceway, the last of 36 races in the 2025 season.

The Joe Gibbs Racing camp enters the 2025 Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway with strong momentum. Two of their drivers, Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe, have locked in spots and driven home significant wins en route to the finale.

A chaotic sequence sees Shane van Gisbergen and Chase Briscoe run into trouble, with the latter being able to catch a break during the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race.

Last year at Phoenix Raceway, Chase Briscoe was reluctant to leave the race track. He had just run his last race with his No. 14 team at Stewart-Haas Racing, not as part of the Championship 4 but as a driver for a team that was shutting its doors at season‘s end.

Chase Briscoe has had an unbelievable 12 months, and it could all end with him shedding tears this weekend at Phoenix.
