Kevin Harvick has started seven NASCAR Cup Series races in 2020 and has one win, five top-fives and has finished in the top-10 at every one.<\/p>\n
It took a late caution and a heck of a drive by the veteran to keep that streak alive in Sunday night\u2019s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n
Harvick, driver of the No. 4 Busch Light Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), was off all night and was running between 12th and 16th during much of the race.<\/p>\n
But on lap 399, William Byron spun and brought out a caution while Harvick was running 14th. He came to pit road, where crew chief Rodney Childers called for four ties and fuel, and Harvick restarted 13th.<\/p>\n
In two laps, Harvick moved from 13th to sixth. After the race, Jimmie Johnson\u2019s car was disqualified, moving Harvick up to fifth.<\/p>\n
A lot of teams would have given up, but Harvick, Childers and the 4 team have been together for seven years and expect to win. The fifth-place result is nice, but this team expects to win every race.<\/p>\n
So Childers and Harvick will come up with a plan for Wednesday night\u2019s 310-mile race at Charlotte. And if Harvick leads 64 laps, he will have led 10,000 laps at SHR.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s led 14,362 in his career and trails 10th-place Kyle Busch, who has led 17,445, and Jimmie Johnson, who is ninth with 18,862 laps led, on the all-time list.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Wednesday night under the light at Charlotte. And a victory would make it even sweeter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
