Harvick Readies For A Win After Another Second-Place Finish
Another week, another top-two finish for Kevin Harvick.

The No. 4 Chevrolet driver has nine top-two finishes on the season – tied with NASCAR Hall of Famers Bobby Allison (1972) and Cale Yarborough (1977) for the most ever through the first 13 races of a season.

Runner-up finishes are nice, but it has to be frustrating Harvick that he’s not racking up wins.

Harvick hasn’t visited Victory Lane since taking the checkered flag at Phoenix International Raceway in March. His only other win of the season came at Las Vegas Motor Speedway the week prior.

Despite coming up just short of wins, Harvick owns a commanding 44-point lead over Martin Truex Jr. in the points standings and will try to get back to Victory Lane in Sunday’s Axalta “We Paint Winners” 400 at Pocono Raceway – a track he has yet to conquer.

Harvick’s best Pocono finish was a runner-up showing last August.

Another eye-popping stat involving Harvick and runner-up finishes. … In the last six races Jimmie Johnson has won, Harvick has finished second.
