NASCAR 2022: Full entry list for NASCAR Cup Series Championship at Phoenix Raceway

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Avondale, Arizona this weekend for the 2022 season finale, after the action-packed Xfinity 500 last weekend.

The event marks the 36th NASCAR Cup Series race of the season and will be held on November 6th, 2022, at Phoenix Raceway. The race will begin at 3:00 pm ET and will be broadcast on NBC and MRN.

The race will be contested over 312 laps of the one-mile-long track. It marks the 35th annual Championship race in the history of the Cup Series.

Motorsports journalist Bob Pockrass recently took to Twitter to share a list of drivers taking part in the NASCAR Cup Series Championship.

The 36 drivers will take on the green flag, of which four playoff drivers have made it into the Championship 4. Out of the four, one driver will be crowned the winner of the 2022 season on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway. Meanwhile, the drivers that will change this weekend’s docket are #15 Rick Ware Racing’s Garrett Smithley, #16 Kaulig Racing’s AJ Allmendinger, #77 Spire Motorsports’ Landon Cassill, and #78 Live Fast Motorsports’ BJ McLeod.

After missing five races due to concussion-like symptoms, Alex Bowman, the driver of #48 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, is set to make his comeback for the season finale.
