When Harvick passed Chase Elliott toward the end of the race, I knew that was the pass for the win. Kyle Busch had a good car, but dropping jack early cost him several seconds in the pits. That several seconds he lost on pit road ultimately lost him the race. Harvick didn't lead the most laps, but he led the one counted. He had a chip on his shoulder from the penalty last week, so he felt he had something to prove. In the pre-race show, they talked a lot about Hendrick and how that if they had been at an aerodynamic disadvantage, this track would throw that out the window and even things up. They did not stand out at all this week, so it looks like there is more going on than just an aero package.
These guys will be on the West Coast for another week as they head on over to California. Can someone finally beat Harvick? Or will SHR dominate once again?
