Kevin Harvick passed polesitter Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the next-to-last lap and pulled away to win Saturday night’s Degree V12 300 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, his second Nationwide win this season and the 34th of his career.

Kyle Busch, who also passed Earnhardt on Lap 194 of 195, ran second and padded his Nationwide Series points lead from 192 to 221 on second-place Carl Edwards, who completed the race despite fracturing two bones in his right foot playing Frisbee on Wednesday. Edwards finished seventh, one lap down. NASCAR

“Kyle was a little bit better on the short runs, but after eight or ten laps, this thing was just flat-out awesome,” said Harvick, who led 131 of 195 laps. “We cut it a little bit closer than I would have liked to at the end.”

Harvick recorded his second win of the season and the 34th of his Nationwide career. His win in March at Bristol marked the first time he won in the car he and his wife, DeLana, own.

“Harvick was gone,” Busch said. “What a non-race that was, but hopefully it was a show there at the end.”

“We just tried to save what we could, and we knew we could probably make it, so we just didn’t pit trying to take a chance,” Earnhardt Jr. said. MiamiHerald.com

See @jennafryer for full context of Carl Edwards' view of @kevinharvick. Bottom line: Hatred a strong word, but this runs deep. #nascar
