Phoenix is a critical track on the NASCAR calendar, playing host to the season finale where the final four drivers in the playoffs battle it out for the championship.
NASCAR will utilize a 670-horsepower package at all tracks with the exception of superspeedways and the newly reconfigured Atlanta Motor Speedway.
The 550hp aero package was scrapped after testing at Charlotte Motor Speedway in December.
Kyle Busch, a three-time winner at Phoenix Raceway, went for a spin exiting Turn 4 early in the session. Busch narrowly avoided making contact with the outside wall, but he was ultimately able to drive away unscathed.
