The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series finale is almost here, and the Championship 4 drivers are ready to duel. Ahead of the showdown at the Phoenix Raceway, Brad Keselowski spoke about his and his rivals’ title hopes.

Speaking to Fox Sports, he said, “I think all of us are pretty evenly matched, going into Phoenix. Denny’s had some good runs here, Chase has had some good runs, Joey won last spring. We’ve been so good on that type of track this season. I think this is going to be as evenly matched as it’s going to get.”

Heading into the final race of the season, it will be no holds barred between everybody. It is also worth noting that since Logano and Keselowski are Ford drivers, they helped seize the constructor’s championship.

Luckily, there are no concerns about weather interruptions, so it is a straight fight between the quartet. Everything now comes down to who crosses the finish line first. Admittedly, Keselowski, Hamlin, and Elliott may be a little wary of Joey Logano, given his aggressive reputations.
