NASCAR Xfinity Series at Phoenix 2015: Full Schedule, Standings and Preview

The Xfinity Series season continues to roll along with the Sprint Cup into Phoenix. Heading into the fourth race of the year, the last two events have been dominated by—you guessed it—Sprint Cup regulars.

Following Kevin Harvick's victory in Atlanta, Austin Dillon thoroughly annihilated the field in Las Vegas. Dillon had the fastest time in both practices, won the pole and finished the weekend by driving into Victory Lane.

In terms of the points breakdown, Dillon's brother is the man on top. Ty Dillon's eighth-place finish in Sin City was enough to give him a six-point edge over Chris Buescher in the standings. However, the JR Motorsports combo of Chase Elliott and Regan Smith are rapidly rising after top fives last weekend.

Before the green flag drops in Avondale, here's a look at the schedule, standings and preview for the Axalta Faster Tougher Brighter 200.

Preview

A rough start to the season for Elliott hasn't deterred the defending champion from getting back into the title hunt. The 19-year-old driver rattled off two straight top-five results in Atlanta and Las Vegas and now sits fifth in the points standings.

He and teammate Smith were two of the biggest climbers in the points, with Smith moving up eight spots to sixth. Despite the great finish for Elliott, the emerging star wasn't happy with his performance overall.

The hard-fought result for Elliott was still impressive. He wasn't the only driver who needed to save his car, as Ty Dillon made a great late move to secure his third straight top-10 result.

Fox Sports: NASCAR provides a look at what took place with Dillon and Darrell Wallace:

That save was good enough to give Dillon the outright lead in the standings over Buescher. After coming up short last season even after a great start, Dillon knows the time is now to distance himself from the pack.

Along with the young guns of Elliott and Dillon, several other superstars will also be in the hunt. Sprint Cup champions Matt Kenseth and Kevin Harvick are in the field along with Joey Logano and Austin Dillon.

Given the fact that Harvick has won the last three premier series races at the track, he will likely be the favorite to win on Saturday. With a tight points race behind him, where Ty Dillon, Elliott, Buescher and others finish will be just as important.
