NASCAR Returns to Phoenix for 2024 Championship, and Fans are NOT Happy

What’s Happening

For the fifth year in a row NASCAR’s Championship weekend will return to Phoenix Raceway, according to Bob Pockrass. Social media was not happy to see this news.

• NASCAR’s Championship Weekend has been at Phoenix since 2020. Previously, the weekend was held at Homestead-Miami from 2002-2019 and Atlanta from 1987-2000 with a one-off at New Hampshire in 2001 due to the 9/11 attacks postponing the race from its’ September date.
• The season finale being at Phoenix has been a controversial topic amongst fans, especially since the introduction of the next-gen car, which has produced subpar races on short tracks.
• Fans on social media decried the move. Some called for Homestead to return to the finale spot, while others simply expressed displeasure at the move.

In the Stands

The next-gen car is better on 1.5 mile tracks.

Bruh indeed Brian….or….William.

It’s an option.
