Harvick, who started with the eighth position, passed Hamlin with only 11 laps to go in the race. The No. 29 crew gambled when they stayed out on the track, rather than making a pit stop, during a caution toward the end of the race. Obviously, with the win, the move paid off.



Kasey Kahne, who started the race on the pole, had this to say about his performance: "We actually ran pretty good for a long time. It's disappointing, I thought we had a good shot. Something went wrong there."



Harvick's win at MIS makes it three wins on the season. He had this to say about his win: "We had a good car in practice. This has been a very bad track for us, and then to come here and do what we did today says a lot about where RCR (Richard Childress Racing) is."
