At Martinsville last week it was Playoff driver domination as 6 of them finished in the Top 8, but only one could win as William Byron had the walk-off to clinch his spot in the Championship 4. Now, we head to the season finale where we will crown the 2025 season Champion, Phoenix. Down below you will find different statistics from all of the NASCAR Cup races here at Phoenix Raceway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats! In this post you will only find all-time stats, if you are looking for only active drivers stats or Next Gen stats check out my next article

– Only 10 of 56 Pole winners have finished out of the Top 20 at Phoenix, so it’s safe to say that the Pole winner this weekend will have a decent finish.

– Of the 7 Next Gen races at Phoenix only once has a driver that won the Pole also won the race, so qualifying is important but starting 1st isn’t too important to winning.

– The last 2 Phoenix Championship races have seen a total of 8 drivers spend the entire race in the Top 15, so expect a decent amount of cars to be near the front all race long.

– The last time a Phoenix race ended with 25+ cars on the lead lap was 2020 and the last time there were 11 or less was 2008. So, expect between 12 and 24 cars on the lead lap at the end of the race this weekend.

– Kevin Harvick’s 21 race Top 10 streak here at Phoenix is probably never going to be broken as it’s almost twice as long as any other here, and the longest current streak is only 4 straight races.
