Championship hopefuls will get a very early chance to see how NASCAR’s Next Gen car performs on the track that will also host the Cup Series season finale in November. Sunday’s race in Avondale, Arizona, will also bring to a close the three-race West Coast swing — following races in Fontana, California and Las Vegas — before the series heads back East. Ryan Blaney will start on the pole for the first time this season and the seventh time in his Cup career after pacing the field during Saturday’s qualifying. Denny Hamlin will start alongside Blaney on the front row after posting the second-fastest time in the final round of qualifying. Here is all the information you need to get ready for Sunday’s Ruoff Mortgage 500 at Phoenix Raceway: The Ruoff Mortgage 500 starts at 3:30 p.m. ET (12:30 p.m. local) at Phoenix Raceway. Fox is broadcasting the Ruoff Mortgage 500 and has a pre-race show beginning at 3 p.m. ET (Noon local). Fox Sports 1 will also have an earlier pre-race show beginning at 2 p.
