NASCAR Announces Phoenix Raceway Cup Series Race March 2025

The NASCAR Cup Series will host its fifth race of the season at Phoenix Raceway on March 9, 2025, featuring a 312-lap event that marks the start of the 'West Coast Swing.' Noah Gragson, currently ranked 27th in the driver standings, aims to improve his position with Long John Silver’s debuting as his car sponsor. Meanwhile, Todd Gilliland will race with Frontline Enterprises as his primary partner, celebrating their continued support in his career. Additionally, Christopher Bell is attempting to secure his third consecutive win with the NextGen car, a feat last achieved by Kyle Larson in 2021. In a separate legal matter, NASCAR has countered a lawsuit from 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, alleging antitrust violations in their refusal to sign new charter agreements. This lawsuit highlights ongoing tensions surrounding the charter system that guarantees race entries and financial incentives for teams.
