Byron, who won the Daytona 500 last month, enters the race as the defending champion. He held off Ryan Blaney, Tyler Reddick, Larson and Kevin Harvick for the win and was in first at the end of Stage 1. Larson was the leader at the end of Stage 2, as Byron was right behind him.

Larson and Reddick may have some momentum going into the race. The No 5 driver finished in first place at Las Vegas last weekend with Reddick behind him. Reddick could not catch up to the Hendrick Motorsports star in the closing laps and had to settle for second place.

Larson is entering the race as the leader in the drivers’ standings. Blaney is eight points behind him.

Chase Briscoe won the race in 2022 with Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano before that. The March Phoenix race has not seen consecutive winners since Harvick won three-in-row from 2014 to 2016.
