Earnhardt led 22 laps in last fall’s Phoenix race, including the last one when the event was called due to rain. He was followed by Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano, Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson.

No driver is as automatic at a track as Kevin Harvick is at Phoenix International Raceway.

The No. 4 Chevrolet driver has won five of the last seven races, including four of the last five at the one-mile track. Overall, he boasts a record seven victories at the Arizona oval and will go for number eight in Sunday’s Good Sam 500 (3:30 p.m. ET on FOX).

Harvick’s 1,345 career laps led and his 264 laps led in a single race (Nov. 2014) are both track records.

Since PIR debuted its repaved surface in Fall of 2011, Harvick leads all drivers with five wins, a 4.6 average finish, 1,028 laps led and a 130.1 driver rating.

Harvick has started the season off strong, logging finishes of fourth (Daytona), sixth (Atlanta) and seventh (Las Vegas).
