Ryan Blaney and Joey Logano will start on the front row for Sunday's Freeway Insurance 500 at Phoenix Raceway.
This will be the seventh race in the new-look, 10-race Chase for NASCAR's Cup Series championship. Under the former format, Phoenix had been host to the season finale each of the past six seasons, when the postseason ended with a winner-take-all for the title among four remaining playoff finalists.
Starting this year, it's a 10-race mini-season among the 16 racers who qualified for the Chase. Through six races, Kyle Larson holds a 49-point lead over Denny Hamlin, with another four drivers within 92 points of the leader.
