Joey Logano put on a dominant show at Phoenix on Sunday, strolling his way to a second career NASCAR Cup Series championship in the Team Penske No. 22 Ford.

Logano was out front for 174 laps on the day and put the space between himself and his competitors in the final stint of the race to earn the win.

With Will Power winning the 2022 IndyCar Series championship, Team Penske has captured both a NASCAR and IndyCar title in the same year.

The only Championship 4 driver to pass Logano in the race was Chase Elliott, who got by Logano briefly with more than 100 laps to go before a caution came out two laps after a restart.

On the restart, Ross Chastain made contact with Elliott, sending the No. 9 Chevrolet into the wall and ending his day.

Christopher Bell finished the race in P10 and Elliott officially finished P28.
