Joey Logano
All weekend long, Logano was fast, putting the Team Penske Ford in the top five in qualifying and each of the three practice sessions. And he came big, winning the race and advancing to the Chase finale.

Kyle Busch
The defending Sprint Cup champion came into this race as one of the drivers on the bubble of advancing to the Chase finale. He qualified poorly and really wasn’t a factor early, but came on in the second half of the race. But he drove hard and finished second to advance in the Chase.

Kyle Larson
Larson said he always struggles at Phoenix, but he put the Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet on the outside of Row 1 during qualifying. In the race, he spun out twice, including on the first lap, but recovered to finish third.

Kevin Harvick
After winning five of the last six Phoenix races, Harvick couldn’t make it six of seven, and so he’s now out of the final round of the Chase for the first time in the three years of this format.

Kurt Busch
Coming into this race, Busch’s only hope of making the Chase Championship Round at Homestead-Miami Speedway was to win at Phoenix. Didn’t happen.

Alex Bowman
On Friday, Bowman earned the first pole of his NASCAR Sprint Cup career, as he continues to sub for the injured Dale Earnhardt Jr. Sunday, he led the most laps and drove a great race.

Denny Hamlin
Coming into the race, Hamlin was fifth in points. But he wasn’t able to much in the race and got knocked out of the Chase.

Ryan Blaney
Wood Brothers Racing told FOXSports.com that they plan to bring Blaney back for the 2017 season after a strong rookie campaign. He had a strong top-10 finish

Chase Elliott
The rookie Hendrick Motorsports driver continues to impress, qualifying third and finishing in the top 10.

Paul Menard
Like a lot of drivers who’ve struggled this year, Menard will probably be happy to have this season in the rearview mirror, though he had a good run in Phoenix.

Jamie McMurray
The steady veteran has had a solid 2016 season, though he remains winless since Talladega in 2013.

Ryan Newman
Next year, Newman will return to Richard Childress Racing, a team that has shown improved speed in recent weeks.
Getty ImagesGetty Images
Kasey Kahne
Kahne has run a whole lot better in the Chase than he did in the regular season, which is why he missed the Chase in the first place.

Brad Keselowski
Getting knocked out of the Chase because of an engine failure was a tough blow for Keselowski, the 2012 champion.

Tony Stewart
It’s hard to believe that we now only have one Sprint Cup race left with Tony Stewart behind the wheel.
Getty ImagesGetty Images
Greg Biffle
One of the stories of the offseason will focus on where Biffle ends up in 2017. He has at least one more race with Roush Fenway Racing before that’s decided, though.

AJ Allmendinger
Although this hasn’t been the season Allmendinger has hoped for, JTG Daugherty may be in expansion mode. Phoenix was decent for the ‘Dinger.

Casey Mears
With rumors that he might be departing from his ride at Germain Racing, Mears hung around 20th all day in the desert.
Getty ImagesGetty Images
Carl Edwards
Like Jimmie Johnson, Edwards had no worries at Phoenix, as he had already clinched a spot in the Chase Championship Round next week at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Landon Cassill
Cassill has put together some decent performances down the stretch this season and once again posted a top 20.

Matt Kenseth
Kenseth entered the race as one of three Joe Gibbs Racing drivers battling for the final two Chase spots. And he came close but he crashed on the first overtime restart after contact with Alex Bowman. Kenseth is out of the Chase now. Wow.

Aric Almirola
Richard Petty Motorsports has seen struggles all season and made many changes because of it. Outside of Talladega a few weeks ago, Almirola hasn’t shown much down the stretch.

Clint Bowyer
Bowyer continues to look toward the future and joining Stewart-Haas Racing in 2017. He’s now only one race away from that becoming a reality.
Getty ImagesGetty Images
Matt DiBenedetto
Did he have a concussion or not? Doctors weren’t sure. He’s cleared all that and got back behind the wheel on Sunday.

Michael Annett
In 2017, Annett makes the move to a full-time XFINITY Series ride with JR Motorsports which should be beneficial as he’s struggled to run better than 25th in the Sprint Cup this season.

Regan Smith
The future for Regan Smith and Tommy Baldwin Racing are still uncertain going forward and with only one race left in the season, information will come out soon.
Getty ImagesGetty Images
Trevor Bayne
With a new contract recently announced, Bayne has to be looking forward to his future at Roush Fenway Racing. He spun early in the race and never fully recovered.

Danica Patrick
The results this season haven’t shown much improvement for Patrick, who has finished 20th or worse in more than half the races this season. And at Phoenix, it got even worse as fell way behind early.

Brian Scott
In a shocking announcement, Brian Scott said he would retire at the end of the 2016 season. In his second to last race, he hung in the 30s for most of the race.

David Ragan
It’s been a bumpy road for Ragan in the last eight races. He’s dealt with a ton of minor incidents and 23rd is his best finish in the past two months.

Chris Buescher
After sneaking his way into the Chase, Buescher has become an afterthought as each round has gone on. He’s still put together a solid rookie campaign.
Getty ImagesGetty Images
Jeffrey Earnhardt
After subbing for Matt DiBenedetto in Texas, Earnhardt got back behind the wheel of the No. 32 Go Fas Racing Chevrolet and logged some laps.

Michael McDowell
McDowell has been consistent over the past month with three top 20 finishes and consistent speed. He blasted the wall with two laps to go and set up a crazy finish among the Chase drivers.

DJ Kennington
The two-time Pinty’s Series champion, Kennington made his Sprint Cup debut in the No. 55 Premium Motorsports Chevrolet and logged some laps.

Gray Gaulding
In his second career Sprint Cup start, Gaulding once again gained some experience behind the wheel at the top NASCAR series.
Getty ImagesGetty Images
Jimmie Johnson
Johnson came into Phoenix with absolutely no pressure on him because he knew he was locked into the Chase Championship Round next week at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He was leading when he was penalized for passing the pace car, then got caught up in an incident with Austin Dillon and Greg Biffle.
Getty ImagesGetty Images
Austin Dillon
Dillon insinuated that he was still mad at Kevin Harvick for getting wrecked at Texas last week. Just past the two-thirds mark, his engine quit on him to bring out a caution and a crash behind him.

Martin Truex, Jr.
A practice crash forced Truex to miss qualifying and start from the back of the pack, he marched his way through the field on Sunday before getting caught up in a wreck after losing a lap on pit road.
