For the first time during the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season, the series is set to compete on a "normal" oval this weekend at Phoenix Raceway.
The season opened up with back-to-back superspeedway races at Daytona International Speedway and EchoPark Speedway (Atlanta Motor Speedway), followed by this past weekend's road course race at Circuit of the Americas (COTA).
23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick won all three races, making him the first driver in the 78-year history of the Cup Series to start a season with three consecutive victories. No driver has won four straight races at any point since Jimmie Johnson in 2007.
Team Penske's Joey Logano took the pole position for Sunday's 312-lap Straight Talk Wireless 500 by posting the top lap time in Saturday's single-car qualifying session, and Hendrick Motorsports' joined him on the front row.
A full starting lineup can be found here.
