BRISTOL, Tenn.—Kevin Harvick doesn’t make a ton of NASCAR Camping World Truck Series appearances. His competitors are probably glad.

Entered in a third straight truck race for the first time in 2011, Harvick notched his third straight victory with a convincing performance in Wednesday night’s O’Reilly Auto Parts 200 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Harvick, riding the momentum of wins at Pocono (Aug. 7) and last weekend at Michigan, pulled away on a final restart with 10 laps left to score a relatively comfortable win.

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.
