Kevin Harvick: Fifth-Place in Pala Casino 400

Harvick finished fifth in the Pala Casino 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Auto Club Speedway Sunday afternoon.

Analysis:

It was an encouraging performance for Harvick after a struggle-filled 2022 campaign. Fontana is one of his favorite tracks and his No. 4 Ford showed muscle on this Sunday afternoon. Harvick started 10th on the grid and led 5 total laps for the race. He'd battle among the Top 10 for the full 400-miles of action, and contest for the win in the closing laps. The Stewart Haas Racing star would cross the finish line fifth-place for his first Top 5 of the season. Harvick climbs to fourth-place in the driver standings after two events this season.
