2022 NASCAR Phoenix finale - Start time, how to watch, schedule & more

It all comes down to this. NASCAR will crown its three national champions for 2022 this weekend at Phoenix Raceway in Arizona.

The NASCAR world has been electrified by a thrilling end to the Round of 8 at Martinsville Speedway. While Christopher Bell won his way into the Championship 4, something none watching could believe was happening behind him.

Denny Hamlin entered the final corner two points to the good over Ross Chastain, but Chastain would not go down without a fight. He put the car up against the outside wall, and slammed against it full-throttle all the way to the finish line. The daring maneuver gained him five positions, and a transfer spot into the championship finale. Hamlin was eliminated, but could only call the unbelievable move 'brilliant' in his post-race interview.

Chase Elliott and Joey Logano will join Bell and Chastain in the Cup Series title fight. 

In the Xfinity Series, three JR Motorsports drivers (Noah Gragson, Josh Berry, and Justin Allgaier) will fight against the controversial Ty Gibbs where all are looking to become champion for the very first time. Gibbs is facing intense criticism after intentionally wrecking teammate Brandon Jones for the Martinsville win, eliminating him from the Championship 4.

In the Truck Series, Ben Rhodes hopes to go back-to-back in the title fight. He will be up against Ty Majeski, Zane Smith, and Chandler Smith.
