Kevin Harvick wins pole at Phoenix
Kevin Harvick’s quest for seven-straight top-two finishes has an nice advantage on Sunday.
Harvick won the pole for the race at Phoenix, posting the fastest times in the second and third rounds of qualifying on Friday.
His compadre on the front row? Joey Logano, the Daytona 500 winner who has qualified in the top five of all four Sprint Cup races this season.
Harvick won at Phoenix last year in the penultimate race of the season before he won at Homestead to win the championship. Before the Phoenix race, he finished second at Texas and he was second to Logano in the season-opening Daytona 500. He was second at Atlanta to Jimmie Johnson and last week won at Las Vegas.
Yes, Harvick is rolling. But we don’t have to tell you that, do we?
Tanner Berryhill and Travis Kvapil missed the race. The rest of the top five for Sunday’s race is Jamie McMurray, Matt Kenseth and Ryan Newman.
