Shriners Children's 500
Avondale, Arizona - March 8, 2025
Joey Logano: 2nd
Ryan Blaney: 12th
Austin Cindric: 14th
RETURNING TO PHOENIX: Team Penske, the reigning NASCAR Cup Series champions, returned to Phoenix Raceway-where Joey Logano clinched his third Cup Series title just months ago-to prepare for Sunday's Shriners Children's 500. Saturday's on-track action featured a 45-minute practice session, followed by qualifying, providing drivers and teams with a key opportunity to make adjustments before setting the starting lineup. Goodyear will also have "Option" and "Prime" tires available to teams this weekend, adding an extra layer of strategy as teams work to optimize grip and tire management on Phoenix's unique one-mile layout. The "Option" tire offers increased grip for added pace but wears faster than the "Prime" tire, making it a short-term advantage.
TUNE IN ON SUNDAY: Coverage of Sunday's Shriners Children's 500 from Phoenix Raceway begins at 3:30 p.m. ET on FS1, with radio coverage available on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
