NASCAR at Phoenix 2015: Start Time, Live Stream, TV Schedule and More
The world of NASCAR never stops. This week, the Sprint Cup circuit heads to Phoenix for the fourth race of the season. With three different winners at this point in the season, might we see the first repeat in the desert?
Kevin Harvick won in Las Vegas and thrust himself atop the Sprint Cup standings. The victory for Harvick marked his sixth straight top-two finish, something he seems assured to continue at Phoenix—a track where he's won three straight times.
The success of Harvick is clearly a huge storyline, but it's not the biggest. Kurt Busch returning to the track will be. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver will return after a three-race suspension for conduct detrimental to the sport stemming from a domestic abuse case with ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll. Busch won't face charges for the alleged acts.

Preview
Before we move on to the actual race itself, the Busch situation has a little more to delve into.
His return to the No. 41 car sends Regan Smith back down to just Xfinity service and gives Phoenix fans at least one Busch brother to root for. Along with his reinstatement, he's still on indefinite probation through NASCAR.
Busch may be three races behind the rest of the pack, but he still has a chance to make the Chase, as Jeff Gluck of USA Today notes:
It's a controversial decision by NASCAR, but the right one given the situation. With the charges dropped in his case, Busch can now compete for a title like he intended to do before the season started. Now, he just needs to work his way into the top 16 in points or secure a win and get inside the top 30.
The driver currently sitting in that 30th spot is a veteran driver named Jeff Gordon—you may recognize the name. In desperate need of a victory, or at least a strong finish, Gordon now heads to a track where he's recorded two straight top-five results.
He will be looking to replicate that success with a familiar chassis, via Dustin Long of NBC Sports:
In order to accomplish that feat again, Gordon will have to hold off a contingent of drivers who are looking to make an early statement. That list includes Harvick and Gordon's Hendrick teammates, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Those three drivers alone have 12 victories in Phoenix.
As the Chase Grid slowly starts to take shape, Phoenix will provide another crucial look at what fans can expect the rest of the season.
