Kevin Harvick came up just short the night before at the same track, but on Saturday he had the magic touch in wheeling his No. 33 Chevrolet to the win Saturday in the Nashville 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Nashville Superspeedway.
Harvick was reeling in Kyle Busch and finished second in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race Friday night, but a day later it was the right pit call that handed Harvick the 36th Nationwide win of his career.
“To come in on your off weekend it feels good. It was just a lot of fun to drive today,’’ said Harvick. “We got us another guitar (trophy). I thought that track position was going to pay off for us there. I’m not usually a two-tire guy.’’ AHN
The owner/driver beat Reed Sorenson by 0.199 seconds with Kyle Busch finishing third, Justin Allgaier in fourth and Brad Keselowski in fifth.
Carl Edwards, who finished sixth, retained the points lead, 16 points ahead of Brad Keselowski and 21 points ahead of Keselowski’s Penske Racing teammate, Justin Allgaier. NASCAR
