The last NASCAR Championship Weekend in Phoenix is here. What to know before you go.

AVONDALE, Ariz. — NASCAR fans from across the country will descend on Arizona this weekend. Unfortunately, it may be some time before they return.

The last NASCAR Cup Series Championship race at Phoenix Raceway is on Sunday, Nov. 2.

12News breaks down the weekend festivities leading up to the race and if there are any traffic implications.

Fans heading to Phoenix Raceway for the event should plan for heavy traffic and allow for extra time when traveling to and from the event.
