Since joining forces at Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) in 2014, Harvick and Childers have combined to produce 32 points-paying victories, a victory in the non-points 2018 NASCAR All- Star Race at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway, 25 Busch poles, 121 top-five finishes and 172 top-10s while leading 10,496 laps. They won the 2014 championship, finished runner-up in the 2015 title chase to champion Kyle Busch, finished eighth in 2016 and third in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Harvick has career totals of 55 wins, 31 poles, 221 top-fives, 381 top-10s and 14,922 laps led in 705 starts. His most recent Cup Series wins came Aug. 8 and 9 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn. His most recent Busch Pole came in November 2019 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. Harvick’s 55 career victories tie him with Rusty Wallace for 10th on the all-time NASCAR Cup Series wins list. He is third on the active driver list behind Jimmie Johnson and Busch. Harvick is just one win behind Busch for ninth on the all-time wins list. Dover Numbers: Harvick will make his 39th and 40th NASCAR Cup Series Dover starts this weekend. He has two wins, one pole, eight top-five finishes, 19 top-10s and has led 1,443 laps. He scored his first win at the concrete mile oval in October 2015, when he started 15th, led 355 of 400 laps and beat runner-up Busch by 2.639 seconds. Harvick earned his first Cup Series pole at Dover in September 2014 with a time of 22.095 at 162.095 mph. Harvick has two career Cup Series runner-up finishes at Dover, most recently in May 2015, when he started sixth, led 91 laps and finished runner-up to Jimmie Johnson. He scored his second Dover win in May 2018 when he started second, led 201 of 400 laps and finished 7.450 seconds ahead of SHR teammate Clint Bowyer. Closing in on 15,000 Lap Led: At the Homestead-Miami Speedway season finale in 2019, Harvick became just the 11th driver to have led 14,000 laps in his NASCAR career. He’s closing in on 15,000 led as he has been in front for 14,922 laps and trails 10th-place Busch, who has led 17,641, and Johnson, who is ninth with 18,933 laps led. Harvick has led 10,496 laps as an SHR driver. He led his 10,000th lap as an SHR driver when he took the lead on lap 37 on June 7 at Atlanta. Already Playoff Bound: Harvick qualified for the 2020 Cup Series playoffs with his win May 17 at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway. -more- Mobil 1 Racing – Dover Page Two Dover Notes of Interest (continued): Let’s Win Two: When Harvick won the doubleheader two weekends ago at Michigan, he became the first driver in more than 50 years to win NASCAR Cup Series races on consecutive days. Richard Petty won the Albany-Saratoga 250 on July 14, 1971 at Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, New York, and the next day won the Islip 250 at Islip (N.Y.) Speedway. Islip closed in 1984, but Albany-Saratoga is still in operation. Points Position: Harvick arrives at Dover first in the NASCAR Cup Series standings with 939 points, 118 markers ahead of second- place Denny Hamlin. He’s led the points since the conclusion of the March 8 race at Phoenix Raceway. Laps Completed: Harvick is 16th all-time in laps completed with 201,062 after Sunday’s race at the Daytona Road Course. He reached 200,000 laps completed on lap 222 of the July 19 race at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. Harvick is the leader among active drivers and is closing in on Dale Earnhardt, who is 15th with 202,888. Second Place: By finishing second June 28 at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway, Harvick now has 56 runner-up finishes and passed Buck Baker for ninth on the all-time list. He can tie Darrell Waltrip for eighth with another runner-up finish. 116 and Counting – Harvick scored his 100th career win in NASCAR’s top three series with his March 2018 Las Vegas Motor Speedway win. He now has 115 total victories – 55 in the Cup Series, 47 in the Xfinity Series and 14 in the Truck Series. Only three other drivers in NASCAR history have passed 100 wins in NASCAR’s top three series: Busch (212), Petty (200) and David Pearson (106).
