As the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series enjoys some time off, the NASCAR Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup Series are heading out west to the Valley of the Sun for two days of on-track action at Phoenix International Raceway.

Sprint Cup drivers are dominating the top spots in the Nationwide Series standings as the series prepares for the Bashas’ Supermarket 200. Carl Edwards leads by only 16 points over Brad Keselowski. Justin Allgaier, Mike Wallace and Michael Annett are the only Nationwide regulars in the top-10; they are in 3rd, 8th and 10th, respectively.

Meanwhile, in the Cup Series, Jimmie Johnson leads Greg Biffle by 14 points and Matt Kenseth by 16 points. With the benefit of a weekend off for the Easter holiday, Denny Hamlin is said to be recovered from his ACL surgery enough to race this weekend in Phoenix. He won the last Sprint Cup race two weeks ago in Martinsville.
