Kevin Harvick has had a big share of his best Cup moments at Phoenix Raceway.
While his dominance in the desert has faded slightly over the past five years, Sunday is one of two more chances to get win No. 10 here and join some elite company before retirement, which the Stewart-Haas Ford driver says will be at the end of the current season.
Harvick has won nine times at the 1-mile tri-oval and is seeking to become just the sixth driver in Cup history to win 10 times at one track, an exclusive club that includes Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt and David Pearson. He hasn’t won at Phoenix since 2018, but he’s always in the hunt, not finishing outside of the top 10 in his last 19 starts at the track.
Martin Truex Jr. and Alex Bowman echoed a general consensus that the new rules have caused cars to slide a little more in the corners because the downforce isn't quite as strong.“It was a little slicker, a little slower in general,” Truex said. “Basically, losing a little more brake and less throttle. Slower mid-corner speeds and a little more slipping and sliding.
