NASCAR ran a full season points format through 2003. The sport moved to a playoff format for the first time in 2004. It was made up of the final 10 races of the season, with the top 10 drivers in the point standings at the end of the regular season.
NASCAR is gearing up for the final race weekend of the 2025 season at Phoenix Raceway, and the Xfinity Series is bound to put on a show. Last year’s Phoenix finale saw Riley Herbst win the race while Justin Allgaier took the 2024 Xfinity title.
