Filed under: Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, Sprint Cup, NASCARAlthough the Chase to the Sprint Cup can and probably will be a completely new battle, points leader Kevin Harvick showed championship strength in winning the Carfax 400 Sunday at Michigan International Speedway.
Harvick battled past Denny Hamlin with 11 laps to go on the two-mile track and pulled away for his third victory of the year. In winning, Harvick also became the first driver to qualify for the Chase.
Harvick's margin over Hamlin at the end was 1.731 seconds. Carl Edwards finished third, followed by Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth.
"I can't believe I won at Michigan!" Harvick shouted over his radio as he took the checkered flag. "Great freakin' job, guys."
It was Harvick's first victory at Michigan, and the first at the two-mile track for car owner Richard Childress since Dale Earnhardt won in 1990.
