Harvick Advances Stays In Title Contention With Victory At Phoenix

NASCAR's Sprint Cup Championship comes down to one race with four drivers still in the running for the title.  Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano and Ryan Newman will battle it out next Sunday at Miami-Homestead Speedway.  The driver who finishes the highest among those four wins the championship.

Harvick dominated at Phoenix, completing the season sweep there and automatically qualifying for a chance to win the season title next week. Harvick led 264 of 312 laps for his 27th career victory and fourth this season.

Harvick was the only one of the race's Top 4 finishers to advance.  Jeff Gordon finished second followed by Matt Kenseth and Brad Keselowski.  Gordon was knocked out of the championship Final Four when Newman passed rookie Kyle Larson on the final lap to finish 11th and that was good enough to beat Gordon by one point.

No matter who wins the championship - it'll be a first-time Sprint Cup champion.
