When the green flag waves for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series title-decider at Phoenix, there will be 16 grid spots separating the Championship 4, but all of them feel confident about their chances. Joey Logano from Team Penske believes the championship is within reach for him, as their car is strong, they did well in qualifying, and have confidence in their team under pressure situations. Logano’s confidence is backed by the team’s preparation and highest qualifying spot among title contenders.
Ryan Blaney, Logano’s Penske teammate, is aiming for his second Cup Series crown, starting 17th on the grid. Although his qualifying lap didn’t go as planned, Blaney remains optimistic, drawing on his experience from last year’s win. William Byron from Hendrick Motorsports, starting 8th, feels good about their race car and getting the first pit pick.
Tyler Reddick, starting 10th in the No. 45 23XI Toyota, had a nerve-wracking qualifying session, barely making it through the first round. Despite this, he remains focused on putting together a strong start and navigating the lengthy race to reach the finish line successfully.
