BROOKLYN, Mich.—Kevin Harvick outran Timothy Peters in a green-white-checkered-flag finish at Michigan International Speedway, and with Nelson Piquet Jr. slamming the inside backstretch wall behind him, claimed his second straight NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory in Saturday’s VFW 200.

The victory was owner/driver Harvick’s second in four starts this season and the 11th of his career.

Peters ran second, followed by Miguel Paludo, James Buescher and David Starr. Jason White, Ron Hornaday Jr., Brendan Gaughan, Colin Braun and Cole Whitt completed the top 10.

Harvick, who became the first driver to win at Michigan in all three of NASCAR’s top touring series, avoided a vicious multicar collision on Lap 90—initiated by contact between the trucks of Parker Kligerman and Mark Martin—to put himself in position to win.
