8. Joey Logano 6/1 11th 14th 9th 13th

10. Erik Jones 30/1 19th 7th 16th 6th
Driving Kenseth’s No. 20 that won last two on similar tracks; won at Phoenix twice in trucks.
Note: Phoenix’s relatively flat one-mile layout requires a similar set-up as Richmond and New Hampshire. Drivers who do well on one usually fare well on the others during a season.
