Joey Logano Could Play Spoiler in Championship Battle at Phoenix
Although Joey Logano was eliminated from the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs last weekend at Martinsville, he starts 10th and could play a spoiler role in Sunday's race at Phoenix. Once the championship race was moved there in 2020, Team Penske, in particular, and Logano's No. 22 team have gone all-in on Phoenix and gotten great results with three wins, including championship-winning drives in the 2022 and 2024 finales. Seven hundred and seven of Logano's 1,096 laps led here have come since NASCAR moved Phoenix to the finale, and he even led 81 laps in the March race before being shuffled back to 12th. Since the three favorites for the championship -- Denny Hamlin, William Byron, and Kyle Larson -- swept the top three qualifying positions, you can likely expect one of them to win, but the Penske cars all qualified well enough that you shouldn't be surprised if one of them spoils the party.
