NASCAR Championship 4: Meet the Drivers Competing for the 2024 Cup Series Title
The NASCAR Championship 4 is set, and four elite drivers are ready to battle for the 2024 Cup Series title. This year’s lineup includes a mix of established champions and rising stars.
Last year, Ryan Blaney claimed his first Cup Series title, outpacing competitors Christopher Bell, Kyle Larson, and William Byron. This year’s contenders bring a similar level of excitement, with some of NASCAR’s top talent vying for victory.
#### Joey Logano
Joey Logano secured his spot in the Championship 4 by winning at Las Vegas. Despite being a surprise contender in the Round of 8, he advanced after Hendrick Motorsports’ Alex Bowman was disqualified for an underweight car, allowing Logano to take the final postseason spot. Logano, a two-time Cup Series champion (2018, 2022), has three wins this season and leads a Team Penske team that has won the last two Cup Series titles.
#### Tyler Reddick
Tyler Reddick, representing 23XI Racing, is making his debut in the Championship 4. Reddick had a strong regular season, securing the regular-season title, but it wasn’t until a thrilling late-race move in Miami that he clinched his playoff win. With three wins this season and two previous Xfinity Series titles, Reddick has shown particular skill on intermediate tracks, making him a serious contender for the championship.
#### NASCAR Championship Rules and Race Details
The NASCAR Cup Series Championship at Phoenix Raceway will consist of three stages over 312 laps. The rules are straightforward: the highest-finishing Championship 4 driver wins the title. No points carry over from the regular season or previous playoff rounds. While the Championship 4 drivers typically compete for the checkered flag, any driver who finishes highest among them will take home the title.
#### Key Race Information
