The '''NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship Race''' is a [[NASCAR Xfinity Series]] event held at the [[Phoenix Raceway]] in [[Avondale, Arizona]]. Since 2020, it has been the season-finale for the series.


==History==
The '''Desert Diamond Casino West Valley 200''' is a [[NASCAR Xfinity Series]] event held at the [[Phoenix Raceway]] in [[Avondale, Arizona]].
[[File:Desert_Diamond_Casino_West_Valley_200_logo.png|thumb|left|The Desert Diamond Casino West Valley, located in [[Glendale, Arizona]], was the title sponsor of the race in 2019 and 2020]]
{{expand section|date=November 2021}}
The race was first run in 1999 as the Outback Steakhouse 200. It became the Bashas' Supermarkets 200 in 2002. Following realignment of the two Xfinity Series races, the Arizona 200 took over the November slot.


The 2016 race was held at night and served as the sixth race of the [[NASCAR playoffs|NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs]].

[[Whelen Engineering Company]] served as the title sponsor of the race in 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ismraceway.com/Articles/2018/10/WHELEN-ENGINEERING-TO-SPONSOR--NASCAR-XFINITY-SERIES-SEMIFINAL-PLAYOFF-RACE-AT-ISM-RACEWAY.aspx|title=Whelen Engineering to Sponsor NASCAR Xfinity Series Semifinal Playoff Race at the ISM Raceway|website=www.ismraceway.com|access-date=2018-10-17|archive-date=2020-09-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200911040906/https://www.ismraceway.com/Articles/2018/10/WHELEN-ENGINEERING-TO-SPONSOR--NASCAR-XFINITY-SERIES-SEMIFINAL-PLAYOFF-RACE-AT-ISM-RACEWAY.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref> Desert Diamond Casinos and Entertainment served as the title sponsor of the race in 2019 and 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/jayski/cup/2018/story/_/id/25265130/desert-diamond-casinos-sponsor-xfinity-race-ism-raceway|title=Desert Diamond Casinos to sponsor Xfinity race at ISM Raceway|work=[[Jayski's Silly Season Site]]|publisher=[[ESPN]]|date=November 13, 2018|access-date=April 6, 2019}}</ref> When they did not return in 2021, NASCAR did not set out to find a replacement title sponsor and instead named the race the '''NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship Race''' (in previous years, many fans would refer to the last race of the season by that name anyway regardless of what the official name of the race was).
The 2016 race was held at night and serves as the sixth race of the [[NASCAR playoffs|NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs]].


The race was a day race in 2020 and a night race in 2021.
In early 2021 it was announced that the race, which is the season finale, will be held at night in the same manner as the Truck event.

In its four years as the last race of the Xfinity Series season, the driver who won the championship also won the race: [[Austin Cindric]] in [[2020 Desert Diamond Casino West Valley 200|2020]], [[Daniel Hemric]] in 2021, [[Ty Gibbs]] in 2022 and [[Cole Custer]] in 2023.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship Race is a NASCAR Xfinity Series event held at the Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. Since 2020, it has been the season-finale for the series.

History

[edit]
The Desert Diamond Casino West Valley, located in Glendale, Arizona, was the title sponsor of the race in 2019 and 2020

The race was first run in 1999 as the Outback Steakhouse 200. It became the Bashas' Supermarkets 200 in 2002. Following realignment of the two Xfinity Series races, the Arizona 200 took over the November slot.

The 2016 race was held at night and served as the sixth race of the NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs.

Whelen Engineering Company served as the title sponsor of the race in 2018.[2] Desert Diamond Casinos and Entertainment served as the title sponsor of the race in 2019 and 2020.[3] When they did not return in 2021, NASCAR did not set out to find a replacement title sponsor and instead named the race the NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship Race (in previous years, many fans would refer to the last race of the season by that name anyway regardless of what the official name of the race was).

The race was a day race in 2020 and a night race in 2021.

In its four years as the last race of the Xfinity Series season, the driver who won the championship also won the race: Austin Cindric in 2020, Daniel Hemric in 2021, Ty Gibbs in 2022 and Cole Custer in 2023.
