By Jared Turner Is it really fair for a driver with four wins on the season to be eliminated from title contention with seven races remaining while multiple drivers with nary a win all year still remain in the hunt for the sport’s top prize? That’s the question NASCAR must answer after Sunday’s final race of the Chase Challenger Round. All we’ve heard the past few years is how NASCAR wants to put a greater emphasis on winning. And, to be fair, the sanctioning body has done that with its win-and-you’re-in pathway to earning a spot in the Chase. But what about…

The Chase: Kevin Harvick Is the New Jimmie Johnson

By Jerry Bonkowski Cool, calm and collected, ignores pressure and does what he needs to do with a virtually effortless and surgical precision. How many times have those types of words described Jimmie Johnson? Much like we used to talk about being like Mike – NBA great Michael Jordan, of course – the only way to beat Jimmie is to be like Jimmie, and that’s exactly what Kevin Harvick did Sunday at Dover.

Kevin Harvick dominates, preserve Sprint Cup title hopes

Oct. 4, 2015 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service DOVER, Del.—By Jove, he’s done it again! Forced to win at Dover International Speedway to keep his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship hopes alive Sunday, Kevin Harvick did just that, dominating Sunday’s AAA 400 to stave off elimination from the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. In a virtual carbon copy of last year’s Chase race at Phoenix, where the 2014 premier series champion had to win to advance to the Championship Round at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Harvick led 355 of 400 laps (a career best at any track) in winning for the third…
