The NASCAR Chase For The Cup standings are more important than ever entering Sunday afternoon’s Quicken Loans Race For Heroes 500 at Phoenix International Speedway, with just four spots available to remain in the mix for the NASCAR title.

Joey Logano enters Sunday’s race in a first-place tie with Denny Hamlin, while Ryan Newman and Jeff Gordon round out the top four.

After today’s race in Phoenix, the Eliminator Eight will be cut down to the final four for next weekend’s season finale at Homestead-Miami.
