AVONDALE, Ariz.: AM Racing proudly announced today they will field an entry for Friday’s ARCA Menards Series West Desert Diamond Casino West Valley 100 for driver Kole Raz at Phoenix (Ariz.) Raceway.
Raz, 21, will pilot the team’s No. 76 Ford Mustang for the 100-lap race with support from Cyclum Renewables. (more…)
First of all, let’s get the Martinsville results out of the way. Ryan Blaney drove his rear off and won the race to complete his effort to try for his second title. That makes it Blaney, Joey Logano (for title number three), Tyler Reddick and William Byron as the Championship Four. That is quite the foursome, but it also begs the question, is this the right foursome to compete for the title?
The moment we’ve all been waiting for is here – Championship Weekend at Phoenix Raceway.
The NASCAR Xfinity Series wrapped up the Round of 8 last weekend at Martinsville Speedway and will now head to Phoenix Raceway to crown a new NASCAR Xfinity Series champion. Four drivers – Austin Hill, A.J. Allmendinger, Cole Custer and Justin Allgaier – will vie for the title on Saturday, November 9 in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship Race at 7:30 p.m. ET on The CW, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Channel 90).
The competitors are gearing up for the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway this Friday, November 8 at 8 p.m. ET on FS1, MRN, and SiriusXM Radio (Channel 90), where it will decide who of the Championship 4 contenders – Grant Enfinger, Christian Eckes, Ty Majeski, and Corey Heim – will finish the highest and take the 2024 title.
The half-mile track has hosted 33 CRAFTSMAN Truck Series races since its inaugural Phoenix race – a race won by Mike Skinner piloting the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet on February 5, 1995. Skinner bested legendary drivers Terry Labonte, Ron Hornaday Jr., and Johnny Benson Jr.
