Last week at COTA we got to see Tyler Reddick win yet again in 2026. Now we head to a track where if he wins again people will be scratching their heads and calling conspiracy, 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 Active/Next Gen Cup Track Stats: Phoenix.

– Only 10 of 57 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 8 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.
