Last week at Charlotte we got to see another close Chase Briscoe finish, but this time he barely held on to win one of the closest finishes in Charlotte history. Next up, we head to the former Championship racetrack where we’ll see if Chase Briscoe can continue his hot streak, Phoenix. Down below you will find different statistics from all of the NASCAR Cup races here at Phoenix Raceway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats! In this post you will only find all-time stats, if you are looking for only active drivers stats or Next Gen stats check out my next article Active/Next Gen Cup Track Stats: Phoenix.
Active Drivers will be highlighted like so
Active means any driver who started a race in the 2026 Cup Series season.
First Winner: Alan Kulwicki 11/06/1988
Most Recent Winner: Ryan Blaney 03/08/2026

– Only once has someone led 66% or more of a race at Phoenix and not won, so if someone leads 206+ laps it’s a safe bet they will win the race this weekend.

– The last time no driver ran every single lap of a Phoenix Cup race inside the Top 15 was the 2024 Spring race, so expect at least one driver to be in the Top 15 all race long this weekend.
