The first of four NASCAR XFINITY Series Dash 4 Cash races is set for Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway at 4 pm ET on FOX, and the competition for the $100,000 prize incorporates this year’s stage-based race structure.

With Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series veterans with more than five year’s full-time experience in the series excluded from the event, XFINITY regulars are vying for two positions from each of the first two stages. The highest two finishers from each stage among eligible drivers will compete in the third and final stage, with the highest finisher among the four earning the $100,000 Dash 4 Cash bonus.

If any one driver wins all four Dash 4 Cash bonuses—at Phoenix, Bristol, Richmond and Dover—that driver will collect an additional $600,000 for a total of $1 million.

“Obviously, the money is on the line and we want to be able to go and get that, but at the end of the day it is still a race, and with these stages, we still have some many points and playoff implications if you can win that,” said Joe Gibbs Racing driver Matt Tifft.

“We definitely have a little bit more incentive to go out at the end of the race if we’re in contention for that to be able to go and compete for the Dash 4 Cash prize.”
