\u25cf Harvick leaves Phoenix as the championship leader with a one-point advantage over second-place Logano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Harvick, driver of the No. 4 Jimmy John\u2019s Freaky Fast Rewards Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe (Logano) just had control of the race. After we pitted there, I got stuck behind a couple of cars there, lost five or six spots. He got by and got control of the race. He got to restart where he wanted to. Our Jimmy John\u2019s Ford was better, especially when we could put it in front of his. We just didn\u2019t get the control of the race back there, and he was able to get by us on that restart where I got hung up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Up:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next event on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule is the Folds of Honor 500<\/strong> on Sunday, March 15, at Atlanta Motor Speedway<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
