Harvick has Strong Fourth-Place Finish at Phoenix
“I was really pleased with the car and the performance that we put in,” said Harvick. “We have to continue to work on the small things, but overall I can see progress each and every week. The small things will take us from running in the top five to victory lane.”
Starting the race fifth, Harvick quickly set his eyes on the top position, moving to third place by lap 11. Under the first caution of the evening on lap 33, the team made minor adjustments and gained a position exiting pit road. Running in the second position, Harvick continued to clock some of the fastest laps of the day.
After loose lug nuts slowed the pit stop on lap 69, Harvick restarted the race from the eighth spot, his lowest position of the night. Quickly moving back in to the top five, Harvick again was running with the leaders and looking to advance to the lead. With a fast car and good, solid pit stops, Harvick maintained his position in the top five, even after several late cautions came out in the race. The race concluded with one attempt at a green-white-checkered and Harvick was able to end the day with a fourth-place finish for the Camping World team.
