Logano lapped the Arizona oval in 26.561s, and the driver of the #22 Team Penske Ford beat Larson’s #5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet by 0.117s in an impressive lap.
Austin Cindric will start third, Daniel Suarez fourth, and Ryan Blaney fifth.
Seeking the first four-peat seen in the Cup Series since 2007, Tyler Reddick will start eighth — even after going for a spin in practice.
Brad Keselowski was the only driver who did not set a time after slamming the wall with a flat tire during practice.
