Comment on Kevin Harvick wins NASCAR Cup race at Michigan

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Kevin Harvick is so confident in his talent and team he doesn’t get excited when he wins. “It’s more of an expectation,” Harvick said. He raced to the 47th Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series victory of his career and his second in less than a month Sunday, pulling away from the pack to win at Michigan International Speedway for the second straight year. With just three races before the playoffs, the timing of his latest strong performance may help him win a second championship. “Hopefully, we’re peaking at the right time,” he said. Late in the race, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver created a cushion between his Ford and the competition and finished more than a second ahead of Denny Hamlin. “Nothing I could really do,” said Hamlin, who drove a Toyota-powered car for Joe Gibbs Racing.
