Kevin Harvick’s seventh NACAR Cup win of the year has locked him into the regular-season championship, moved him into a tie for ninth all-time among Cup series winners, and put him one win away from his career-best for wins in a season. Jimmie Johnson held off teammates William Byron and Alex Bowman to claim the other podium spot.
Harvick’s Sunday win at Dover also breaks a tie with Denny Hamlin, Saturday’s winner, for most victories this season. The two of them have won 13 of 25 races this year. Harvick got past Johnson after the last round of pit stops and finished three seconds ahead of Martin Truex, who finished second for the second straight race after going five straight races running third.
Harvick won eight races in 2018 but finished third in the championship playoffs, the second of three straight years he finished third at the end of the year.
