Harvick improves his stats in Kansas

Kevin Harvick (Ford) dominates this start of the season in Nascar Cup Series. After Atlanta (Georgia), Las Vegas (Nevada), Phoenix (Arizona) and Dover (Delaware) last week, the resident of the Stewart-Haas Racing scored a fifth victory this season by winning the KC Masterpiece 400 held at Kansas Speedway.

Parti en pole, le champion 2014 a repris les commandes de l’épreuve dans la dernière partie de la course pour s’imposer avec près de quatre dixièmes d’avance sur Martin Truex Jr (Toyota) alors que les derniers tours ont été perturbés par plusieurs accidents.

The KC Masterpiece was notably marked by the crash of William Byron (Chevrolet) who emerged unscathed after finishing on the hood of Ryan Newman (Chevrolet). Matt Kenseth (Ford) was also involved in the incident and had to retire for his return to Nascar.
