NASCAR live stream (3/12): How to watch United Rentals Work United 500 in Phoenix online, TV, time

NASCAR travels to Phoenix on Sunday, March 12 for the United Rentals Work United 500. The race will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

Kevin Harvick has had a big share of his best Cup Series moments at Phoenix Raceway.

While his dominance in the desert has faded slightly over the past five years, Sunday provides one of two more chances to get win No. 10 here and join some elite company before retirement, which the Stewart-Haas Ford driver says will occur at the end of the season.

Every time he comes to Arizona, Harvick is reminded of how good he’s been since he swept both races at the track 17 years ago. And pretty much every time, he deflects praise.

Harvick has won nine times at the 1-mile tri-oval and is seeking to become just the sixth driver in Cup history to win 10 times at one track, an exclusive club that includes Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt and David Pearson.

Kyle Larson will start on the pole Sunday in the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. Denny Hamlin, in the No. 11 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, will be on the outside of Row 1.

Preview

NEW RULES: Drivers are getting used to a new rules package that is debuting this week in Phoenix. It applies to all short tracks and road courses, excluding Bristol and Dover.

Martin Truex Jr. and Alex Bowman echoed a general consensus that the new rules have caused cars to slide a little more in the corners because the downforce isn’t quite as strong.

The drivers were given an extra 50-minute practice session Friday to get used to the setup.

“It was a little slicker, a little slower in general,” Truex said. “Basically, losing a little more brake and less throttle. Slower midcorner speeds and a little more slipping and sliding. I was in a little bit of traffic and felt it was a little better in traffic, but the ultimate test will be what happens on Sunday.”

BRISCOE’S RETURN: It’s been a tough start to the season for Chase Briscoe, who hasn’t finished higher than 20th in three races. A return to Phoenix might be just what his Stewart-Haas team needs.

Briscoe got his first Cup win last spring at the track. He executed two great restarts over the final 20 laps to pull away from Ross Chastain and Tyler Reddick.

“I’m excited to try and turn our season around,” Briscoe said. “I feel like it’s a great opportunity for us to do it.”

BERRY’S SECOND START: Josh Berry will be making his second Cup start in place of Chase Elliott, who broke his leg in a snowboarding accident and is likely to miss at least another month.

The 32-year-old Berry finished 29th in Las Vegas last week in his first Cup start. JR Motorsports had to work quickly to get the No. 9 Chevrolet ready for Berry last week after news spread of Elliott’s injury. The team hopes a little more time to prepare for Phoenix will lead to a better result.

“It’s a weird opportunity,” Berry said. “We’re all thinking about Chase, we want him to get healthy and be back. But I’m thankful, in the meantime, I get to run some races.”

ODDS AND ENDS: Larson is a 5-1 favorite to win Sunday, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Harvick is 9-1 to get his 10th win at the track. … Chevrolets have won the first three races this season. That’s the first time its happened since 2010 and just the fifth time in the modern era, which dates to 1972. … Racing trailblazer Lyn St. James will be the honorary pace car driver for Sunday’s race. St. James has competed in fifteen IndyCar races, including seven Indianapolis 500s.
