LOGANO SAID IT: “I wanted to beat the other guys, so yeah. It’s all about beating the other ones and we did that, so that’s a good start. I wish we were on the pole, but we were close enough to see it, so I think we’re in good shape. I don’t know where the other ones ended up, but I know we’re in front of them.”
TEAM PENSKE AT PHOENIX: Both Ryan Blaney and Joey Logano have incredibly strong records at the one-mile oval.
