Joey Logano was able to benefit from an issue between Kyle Busch. Alex Bowman and Matt Kenseth to take the lead in the second and final Overtime and Logano never looked back and with that victory, Logano punched his and Ford's ticket to racing in the Championship Four.

Alex Bowman and Joey Logano both gave it their all  but Alex Bowman takes home this weekend's Driver of The Week with his phenomenal race today in Phoenix. His best career start in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series comes on the same weekend Bowman gained his best career finish and hopefully Bowman was able to not only catch the eyes from potential sponsors but from potential Rides and I hope he did because he showed that can can race with the big boys and I believe he could race for a championship within the next few years. Congratulations to Alex Bowman on his sixth place finish and winning The Motorsports News Source Driver of The Week.
