Joey Logano took the #22 Penske Ford to his first Xfinity Series win in more than a year in the 200-mile race on Saturday at Phoenix, in the second of three straight west coast trips for the Xfinity and Sprint Cup series. Logano's last win had been in September of 2013 in Dover, Delaware. The Penske Xfinity team has fielded many strong cars in the series for several years, and was therefore a team to watch once again on Saturday. Other dominant drivers included Atlanta winner Kevin Harvick in the #88 Chevrolet and Erik Jones in the #20 Toyota. Brennan Poole, in his second series start, made a move to try to stretch his fuel to the end, leading six laps but ending up a few laps short. The race had a couple of incidents including top-ten points drivers Chase Elliott and Ty Dillon, the current points leader, getting together on lap 140, as well as Landon Cassill having a tire go down earlier in the race. Daytona winner Ryan Reed is still the only Xfinity regular to win a race in the series so far this season.
