The Cup Series season continues Sunday afternoon with a 312-lap race at Phoenix Raceway.
This is the first of two trips to the 1-mile track this season. It will provide teams with crucial information about the age of the racing surface, as well as the softer option tires that could return for the season finale in November.
Christopher Bell is the defending winner of the spring race at Phoenix. Joey Logano won last season's championship race to secure his third Cup Series title.
