Fanatics Sportsbook partners with NY Racing Team for two Cup Series races
NEW YORK (May 21, 2025) — New York Racing Team announced a partnership with Fanatics Sportsbook to become the primary sponsor of the team's No. 44 Chevrolet, driven by J.J. Yeley for two of the NASCAR Cup Series' most prestigious races — the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway and the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway. The Fanatics Sportsbook No. 44 Chevrolet will take to the track — first in Music City on Sunday, June 1 and next in the Valley of the Sun on Sunday, Nov. 2 — decked in the company's signature Lava Red and Black paint scheme and adorned with the Fanatics Sportsbook logo on the hood and sides of the car. It's only fitting that Fanatics Sportsbook will grace the car for the first time in Tennessee, as the state was the first to experience the sportsbook upon its launch in 2023.

Report: Phoenix Raceway losing NASCAR Championship Weekend, but there's hope for future
NASCAR Championship Weekend in 2026 will not be at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona, according to a report. The venue has hosted the NASCAR title races since 2020, but The Athletic reported that the championship races will return to Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2026 for one year. Advertisement Homestead-Miami Speedway was the host of NASCAR Championship Weekend from 2002-19. The Athletic report said that the title races will be held at Homestead-Miami Speedway only in 2026, with another track expected to be the host of the title weekend in 2027 to begin a rotation of sites. The report said that Phoenix Raceway is "expected to be included in this rotation" for NASCAR Championship Weekend. NASCAR has not yet commented on the report. Driver Denny Hamlin previously threw his support behind a bigger role for Homestead-Miami Speedway in the NASCAR championship. 'I would certainly like to see (Homestead) play a bigger factor in our championship," Hamilton told "Whether it's in the playoffs, just a part of the championship race or round, or whatever it might be, I'd like to see it be a part of that as, like we just talked about, the driver makes a bigger difference at this track compared to the car.' Advertisement The 2025 NASCAR Championship Weekend, including the NASCAR Cup Series Championship, is scheduled to be held at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday, Nov. 2. Joey Logano, driver of the #22 Shell Pennzoil Ford, celebrates with the Season Finale 500 trophy in victory lane after winning the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway on Nov. 10, 2024, in Avondale, Arizona.
