As the clocks sprang forward, the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series went to Phoenix Raceway for the Straight Talk Wireless 500, which is the first of two trips to Arizona for the 2026 season.
As the green flag waved, the action in Arizona began. Ryan Blaney won Stage 1, but Stage 2 saw Kyle Busch and Shane Van Gisbergen encounter issues that triggered a caution on Lap 94. This was followed by a crash involving Daniel Suarez and Chase Elliott. Christopher Bell ended up winning Stage 2. In the finale, another crash occurred that involved Ross Chastain and Austin Cindric, along with a significant wreck that involved Daniel Suarez, Josh Berry, and Joey Logano.
