Phoenix to host NASCAR Championship Weekend in 2025
AVONDALE, Ariz. — NASCAR announced that Championship Weekend will return to Phoenix Raceway in 2025, marking the sixth championship weekend at the track.
Championship weekend will be October 31-November 2 in 2025 – one week earlier than this year. NASCAR will crown the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion on October 31. Meanwhile, the Xfinity and Cup Series champions will be crowned November 1 and 2, respectively.
“Our fans are the heart and soul of Phoenix Raceway. They create an unforgettable atmosphere for NASCAR Championship Weekend,” said Latasha Causey, the president of Phoenix Raceway. “They fill the grandstands and hillside and pack the campground, which is nothing short of the best camping experience in NASCAR. This makes NASCAR Championship Weekend at Phoenix Raceway an incredible celebration of our fans and our sport. And we can’t wait to keep the celebration going in 2025.”
Phoenix Raceway has boasted six consecutive sold-out Cup Series races at the one-mile oval. According to the track, limited tickets remain for the 2024 NASCAR Championship Weekend, which will take place November 8-10.
While Phoenix has hosted Championship Weekend since 2020, change may be coming. The Homestead (Fla.) Council passed a resolution to put together a bid with the county and sports commission to bring Championship Weekend back to Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2026.
The 1.5-mile Florida track hosted the weekend from 2001-19. There is no word on if they will host the weekend in 2026.
