The Friday schedule for NASCAR Championship Weekend just got a whole lot busier and better.
NASCAR, Phoenix Raceway and the ARCA Menards Series announced today that the season finale for the ARCA Menards Series West will move one day earlier to Friday, Nov. 4. The ARCA Menards Series West championship race will begin at 11:30 a.m. MST and be shown live on FloRacing. That race sets the table for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship race, the Lucas Oil 150, which now moves to a 7 p.m. MST start live on FS1.
In between those Friday races, the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series will hold crucial practice sessions, placing four series on track in one action-packed day.
“This creates an incredible value for race fans on Championship Friday,” said Phoenix Raceway President Julie Giese. “Being able to see four series in action provides a power-packed ticket that will keep our fans thrilled throughout the day. And then on Saturday, fans will have a tremendous day of action on tap with Busch Light Pole Award Qualifying for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship and the NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship Race. This is a huge win for our fans across the board.”
As a bonus, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series West will hold practice sessions on the afternoon of Thursday, Nov. 3, and admission to those practices is free.
In a related scheduling move, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Pocono Raceway on July 23 will move from FS1 to FOX (noon ET).
