The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series heads to Avondale, Arizona, this weekend after the Las Vegas thriller.
United Rentals Work United 500 is the fourth NASCAR Cup Series race of the season and will be held on Sunday (March 12th, 2023) at the Phoenix Raceway. The race will kick off at 3:30 pm ET and will be broadcast on FOX and MRN.
The event will be contested over 312 laps on the one-mile oval track. Sunday's event marks the 53rd race hosted by the Phoenix Raceway in the history of the Cup Series.

Motorsports journalist Bob Pockrass recently took to Twitter to share a list of drivers taking part in United Rentals Work United 500.
The 36 drivers will take on the green flag and two drivers have changed on this weekend’s docket: #15 Rick Ware Racing’s Todd Gilliland and #38 Front Row Motorsports’ Zane Smith.
The #9 of Hendrick Motorsports is currently listed without a driver and Josh Berry replaced the injured Chase Elliott last week at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Stewart-Haas Racing driver Chase Briscoe won last year’s United Rentals Work United 500, previously known as Ruoff Mortgage 500, and finished with a total time of three hours, six minutes, and 34 seconds. He will be looking forward to defending his title this weekend.
