Joey Logano has posted a victory at Phoenix International Raceway to join the title contenders in next week’s finale at Homestead.

The race went to overtime with Logano leading for 58 of the race's 324 laps. He made the most of the typical NASCAR carnage during the final laps and beat defending series champion Kyle Busch into 2nd place.

The two, along with Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards are now the four drivers with a chance to win the 2016 Sprint Cup title. If none of the chase finalists wins, then the driver with the best finish will be crowned champion.
