The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race was a NASCAR Cup Series race held on November 10, 2024, at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. Contested over 312 laps on the one mile (1.6 km) oval, it is the 36th and final race of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season. Joey Logano won the race, clinching his third career Championship. Ryan Blaney finished 2nd, and William Byron finished 3rd. Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell rounded out the top five, and Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace, Chase Elliott, Chris Buescher, and Daniel Suárez rounded out the top ten.
The race was notably interrupted when the pace car crashed while trying to get off the track for a restart on lap 69 to begin the second stage. The driver of the car swerved to make the turn onto pit road at the last second, and the abrupt turn spun the car to the left into a brief slide towards the protective sand barrels at the end of the pit wall. The impact moved several barrels and scattered sand across the apron. The red flag was brought out for several minutes while the barrels were fixed and the track was cleaned, and the race resumed as normal soon after.
This was the final race for Stewart–Haas Racing, as the team reformed into Haas Factory Team from the 2025 season onwards. This was also the final race for 2017 champion Martin Truex Jr. as a full-time driver, as he announced his retirement from full-time racing on June 14, 2024.
