2012

Perhaps the most visually memorable moment at Phoenix came in late 2012, with Clint Bowyer -- deep in the hunt for his first title -- sprinting through the garage area to confront Jeff Gordon. The pair had a run-in on track that effectively took Bowyer out of title contention, and a fracas ensued as the two drivers and their crews tussled.

2014

Kevin Harvick had a walk-off win, but a second last-lap story line emerged. Needing to advance one position to advance to Homestead, Ryan Newman knocked non-playoff driver Kyle Larson up the track and out of the way to get the necessary spot, securing his berth in the championship race ... and ruffling a few feathers in the process.

2015

Rain came at a fortuitous time for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the Nov. 2015 race at Phoenix. Earnhardt came to pit road for fuel and tires one lap before a wreck on Lap 196. While on pit road, Earnhardt crossed the scoring line at the flag stand before Kevin Harvick, who had dominated with 143 laps led. Earnhardt Jr. inherited the top spot, and before track workers could clean up from the wreck, rain began to pour and the race was called.
