Harvick Wins Wild-One (Coke Zero 400) at Daytona 7.3.10
Kevin Harvick continued his season of resurgence by leading a strong Richard Childress Racing contingent to victory Saturday night at the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway. The three RCR cars were the class of the field in a wild night of racing, and Harvick, Clint Bowyer and Jeff Burton were poised to run away with the race before several late cautions interfered with a potential sweep. A three-car accident moments before Bowyer took the white flag set up NASCAR’s version of overtime, and Harvick won the two-lap sprint and his second race of the season. The Sprint Cup Series points leader won at Talladega in April. Kasey Kahne was second in a Ford, followed by Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Burton in Chevrolets. The start of the race was delayed 90 minutes by rain, and a 20-car accident with 12 laps to go stopped the action another 20 minutes.
