Kevin Harvick: Fast Monster Mile Practice

Harvick was fastest in Saturday's first practice for the Apache Warrior 400 at Dover International Speedway. He turned a fast lap of 156.535 mph.

Analysis:

Harvick comes to Dover with his back to the wall in terms of the Chase. His disappointing DNF at Loudon last week dropped him to 10th overall in the Chase standings. You could see that urgency in this practice. The driver of the No. 4 Ford edged Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the fastest lap of the session. Harvick should challenge the Top 5 in Sunday's Apache Warrior 400.
