1. Justin Allgaier- Allgaier was strong throughout the race and remained in the top 5 for most of the going. Only slipping back in the top 10 due to pit stops. Otherwise, Allgaier was a contender and led five times for 85 laps. A strong showing today for Allgaier, who picked up the Dash 4 Cash bonus.
2. Erik Jones- If Allgaier didn't win then it should have been Erik Jones. Jones started second and was up front all day, only to slip back from handling issues late in the going. Jones led four times for 65 laps. We'll see if Jones can carry this momentum for tomorrow's cup race at Phoenix.
3. Ryan Blaney- Blaney was another contender for the win. He was fast throughout all practice sessions on Friday, even set the pace in one of the practices as well. However, Blaney had qualifying tech inspection problems, which didn't allow him to qualify. Although, that didn't stop him from having a great outing in Phoenix. Blaney led once for 15 laps and finished second. Not bad after not getting to qualify.
4. William Byron- Had a decent performance at Phoenix. Started on the pole but slipped back on the initial start. Byron rebounded and came home in the fourth position.
5. Elliott Sadler- Sadler had a quiet day in the desert sun. Was in the top five for most of the day and finished in the top five for all stages. A decent point day for the no.1 crew.
Honorable Mention- Darrell Wallace Jr- After being under the weather last week at Las Vegas, Wallace Jr turned in a impressive sixth place finish.
