Harvick&#8217;s win in the O&#8217;Reilly Auto Parts Challenge was his second in the Nationwide Series this season.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Busch started on the pole in the No. 54 Toyoyta. Busch led much of the early portions of the race but Harvick came on strong as the race developed. Ryan Blaney moved up to second as the race closed but had nothing for Harvick who led 227 laps.<\/p>\n<p>The championship battle between Elliott Sadler and Rickey Stenhouse stayed close. Sadler entered the race with a six point lead, he will head to Phoenix tied with Stenhouse in the points.<\/p>\n<p>As Harvick celebrated with a burnout on the front stretch drivers Denny Hamlin and Austin Dillon butted their cars together. Asked after the race about the incident Hamlin said the following about Dillon. &#8220;Well He&#8217;s gotta give room, that&#8217;s why he always gets wrecked at Bristol and some other tracks&#8230;. First of all\u00a0 he got his ride because of his name&#8230; He needs to learn a lesson.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hamlin said a few other words which you can see in the video below. No interview was aired with Austin Dillon during ESPN&#8217;s race coverage.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yYHAXr_gaTA\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Full Race Results below<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. #33 Kevin Harvick<br \/>\n2. #22 Ryan Blaney<br \/>\n3. #54 Kyle Busch<br \/>\n4. #6 Ricky Stenhouse Jr.<br \/>\n5. #18 Denny Hamlin<br \/>\n6. #3 Austin Dillon<br \/>\n7. #12 Sam Hornish Jr.<br \/>\n8. #31 Justin Allgaier<br \/>\n9. #98 Kevin Swindell<br \/>\n10. #20 Joey Logano<br \/>\n11. #2 Elliott Sadler<br \/>\n12. #88 Cole Whitt<br \/>\n13. #38 Brad Sweet<br \/>\n14. #7 Danica Patrick<br \/>\n15. #99 Kenny Wallace<br \/>\n16. #51 Jeremy Clements<br \/>\n17. #43 Michael Annett<br \/>\n18. #10 Mike Bliss<br \/>\n19. #30 Ryan Newman<br \/>\n20. #87 Joe Nemechek<br \/>\n21. #14 Eric McClure<br \/>\n22. #11 Brian Scott<br \/>\n23. #24 David Starr<br \/>\n24. #01 Mike Wallace<br \/>\n25. #40 Erik Darnell<br \/>\n26. #44 John Blankenship<br \/>\n27. #23 Robert Richardson Jr.<br \/>\n28. #4 Danny Efland<br \/>\n29. #41 Juan Carlos Blum<br \/>\n30. #19 Hal Martin<br \/>\n31. #52 Joey Gase<br \/>\n32. #08 Scott Saunders<br \/>\n33. #81 Jason Bowles<br \/>\n34. #03 Scott Riggs<br \/>\n35. #39 Tim Andrews<br \/>\n36. #70 Johanna Long<br \/>\n37. #91 Jeff Green<br \/>\n38. #00 Blake Koch<br \/>\n39. #75 Kelly Bires<br \/>\n40. #86 Kevin Lepage<br \/>\n41. #47 J.J.
