here s how to watch the nascar cup champion race at phoenix

It's down to one race -- and four drivers.

The final four of Chase Briscoe, William Byron, Denny Hamlin, and Kyle Larson will fight for the championship at Phoenix on Sunday.

If you want to tune in to the race, it will be on NBC at 3 p.m. E.T. You can also stream it on Peacock, DirecTV, Fubo, HBO Max, or Sling. The command to fire the engines will be at 3:25 Eastern. The race is 312 laps for 312 miles on the one-mile track.

NASCAR might change the playoff format for next season, we'll know in the offseason. But for now, four drivers will be duking it out for the championship, all while contending with non-playoff drivers.

We'll be talking about it next week on the TTAC podcast.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I think the Almighty smote Byron's tire for being sponsored by that corrupt POS Liberty "University".

Bookish So some lawyer comes up with a scam to shake down the auto industry and the NYT makes it an ethical crusade against Ford. And you repeat it moralistically and uncritically.

AZFelix This generation of Cadillac articles also shows consistent placement of photos relative to the corresponding text.
Biff Finally the chickens have come home to roost. I have been saying this for three years: just wait until the EV’ers have to pay the road tax. Lets not forget that it’s California we are talking about and they have never met a tax they didn’t like. Plus it’s “the rich” buying new cars so its a double “lets tax’em!” The solution is simple enough. Have EV’s go into emissions stations as part of license plate renewal. Except here record the milage and get a bill for the cost. The rate should be around 1.5X the comparable gas size vehicle due to added weight. Lets watch the progessive politics swallow this one!
Big Oil You could of had a V8.
