Rain ruled in Phoenix as storms set back the Quicken Loans Race for Heroes 500 was delayed six hours. A yellow flag from an accident involving drivers Joey Gase and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. put Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the lead with 115 laps left.
With 93 laps to go light rain turned into a heavy storm and the race was ended early and Earnhardt Jr. was declared the winner. His victory put playoff hopefuls such as Joey Logano and Kurt Busch out of playoff contention.
Kevin Harvick, who led the race for 143 of its 219 laps, is proud of his team’s effort and is looking towards the championship race.
The Chase is now down to four members: Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, and Martin Treaux Jr. Gordon, who will race for the last time in the championship, is looking forward to the opportunity to win it all.
The winner of the Sprint Cup will be determined at the Ford Eco Boost 400 on Nov. 22 in Homestead, Florida.
