If you come from the age of 1990s you would be able to relate when we say that the NASCAR Finale was one of the most hyped events in America. The ambience is crazy and what adds to the momentum is how people react to the same. Legends like Dale Earnhardt Jr and Jeff Gordon have been known for their crazy fan footfall and even crazier recollections. 

The Championship weekend is a stellar one and it is actually four championships in one – the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. For 2025, there are some stellar things planned, and here’s why you should attend the event!

Why NASCAR fans should look forward to the 2025 championship weekend?

If you are not a NASCAR fan yourself, you will not be able to relate when we say it lasts for generations! There are people from all walks of life and corners who come forward and contribute to the palpable feeling. A common reason why most of the fans come together at the championship weekend is because of their love for the sport. NASCAR has been the truest embodiment of what racing culture means. People come down to Phoenix Raceway in an appreciation of this culture. The best part about this is everyone that you meet will have a story to share about the tracks. 

NASCAR is also a sport that fans have etched onto for generations. Just like traditions that are passed across through generations, attending the Championship weekend has also become a part of the family traditions. The off-track traditions are often as important as the on-track titles. 

To add to that, this is the best place where you can witness names from every series. The centerpiece of the event is the prestigious NASCAR Cup Series, which includes practice and qualifying sessions on Friday and Saturday, all leading up to the highly anticipated Sunday race. The atmosphere in the garages—NASCAR’s version of a paddock—and the grandstands come alive whenever the Cup Series teams hit the track. Fans eagerly gather in any spot where they might snag an autograph or snap a selfie with their favorite drivers, adding to the electric energy of the event.

The Championship weekend is also one of the best places to meet your favorite celebrities. People in America often think that this is a ritual. For example, you might be able to spot Michael Jordan, the NBA legend just coming to support his team. Even there are popular celebrities like Rapper Nelly who put up a mighty impressive show before the big race. The NASCAR Championship Weekend is more than just a race; it’s a celebration of speed, tradition, and community, making it an unmissable experience for fans and newcomers alike.

The NASCAR Championship is more than just any other race, it is a celebration of driving skills. After fans wanted NASCAR to take active steps to make the playoffs more interesting, it might finally be paying off. The current Cup Series finale takes place at either Phoenix Raceway or at Homestead Miami Speedway. However, in the upcoming years, there might be some changes. NASCAR is currently in talks to rotate the race venue for the NASCAR Championship Four Final. 

Chief Operating Officer for the organization, Steve O’Donnell opened up about the major reason behind this change despite the success of the Phoenix Speedway. Speaking of the same, he said, “I think you’d have a broader look at venues that could host a championship but short term we’re in Phoenix, we’re extremely happy there and we want to make sure that whatever we do, we continue to grow the sport when it relates to the playoffs”. 

Since 2020, Phoenix Speedway has been the epicenter of all the Finale, especially after it went through renovation in 2018 with $178 million. This even led to consecutive all-sold-out tickets. However, with fans demanding that they want a new thrill at the NASCAR Championship week, this rotation on track will bring back new opportunities.
