Kevin Harvick conserved enough fuel and held off Kyle Busch during a two-lap overtime finish to win Sunday’s rain-delayed Camping World Truck Series race at Pocono Raceway.

Seventeen laps were completed in Saturday’s scheduled Good Sam RV Emergency Road Service 125 before heavy rain fell on the 2.5-mile triangular track. NASCAR was forced to postpone the remainder of the race for one day.

Harvick, driving his No.2 Chevrolet, started on the pole and dominated the race by leading 44 of 53 laps. He gambled on fuel in the late going when he remained on the track while most lead-lap drivers came in for a last round of pit stops.  MiamiHerald.com

“I think you saw the 18 [Busch] drive back up through there with tires,” Harvick said. “Tires still meant something. Our truck was just so fast that there was really no reason to give up the track position to come and get tires, since we were good on fuel.

“That’s one of the shortest races I’ve raced in a long time, and the strategy changes a little bit. You’ve got to get out there quick and try to put yourself in position quick on strategy, and you don’t have a lot of chances to make things happen if you’re off the pace.

“They [the team] just did a great job of hitting it right off the truck, and that makes life easy.”

Kyle Busch finished second, followed by James Buescher, Johnny Sauter and Austin Dillon. NASCAR.com
