Last week at Martinsville we saw some really good racing and tire falloff leading to a Ryan Blaney win, but we also saw some BS racing late from multiple drivers to put a taint on the race. Now we head to the season finale where a 2024 NASCAR Cup season champion will be crowned, Phoenix. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Phoenix Raceway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position in the Next Gen era. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
In this post you will only find active and Next Gen stats, if you are looking for all-time stats check out my previous article All-Time Cup Track Stats: Phoenix.
Active means any driver who started a race in the 2024 Cup Series season.
