FONTANA, Calif.— In his 791st start in his final NASCAR Cup Series season, Kevin Harvick showed excellent long-run speed in his No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford.
Unfortunately, lack of strength on restarts prevented him from contending for the win in Sunday’s Pala Casino 400. Harvick had to settle for a fifth-place finish.
“Our GEARWRENCH Ford Mustang was really good on the long runs,” Harvick said. “I just really struggled on the restarts with the front end. In the end, we had a chance, but I couldn’t put us in the right position on the restarts to guard our track position like we needed to.
“It was still a great day. The guys did a great job on pit road all day and kept us up in the front.”
