Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Wins at Phoenix on a rainy night in the desert.
Erik Jones: Closing in on Truck championship in his rookie season.
NOT
Joey Logano: Had every break go his way – thanks to a fast car – earlier in the Chase, then he saw it go away in the third round.
Kurt Busch: Cost himself a shot at advancing with penalty before the Phoenix race was 1 foot old (jumped the start ahead of pole-winner Jimmie Johnson).
Carl Edwards: Phoenix ended too soon for him – finishing five points out of the top four.
