NASCAR completed the Championship 4 after a thrilling ending at Phoenix. Take a look at a few winners and losers from the Can-Am 500.

What a weekend it was in Phoenix! With just two spots remaining in the Championship 4, the race went down to the wire and provided one of the best finishes of the season.

Alex Bowman had dominated the day, but a late pit stop had shuffled him back a few positions, leaving the door open for Matt Kenseth to take the lead. It looked like No. 20 car was about to finish up a win when the caution came late in the race, forcing overtime.

On the first restart, Kyle Busch got Bowman loose and caused him to enter Turn 1 low. Kenseth thought he was clear and got down, leading to a wreck and the end of his Chase chances.

In the end, Joey Logano won the race and clinched his second trip to the Championship 4 along with Kyle Busch, who snuck in due to the late wreck. Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin were all eliminated along with Kenseth.

As a result, the Championship 4 will feature Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards, Joey Logano and Kyle Busch.

Check out a few winners and losers from Sunday’s race.
