International Speedway, Harvick led the 15,000th lap of his NASCAR career.

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 Richmond first in the NASCAR Cup Series standings with 2,106 points, and with his win at Darlington Sunday night, he automatically qualified for the Round of 12 of the Cup Series playoffs, which start Sept. 27 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. 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 202,215 after Sunday’s race at Darlington. He reached 200,000 laps completed on lap 222 of the July 19 race at Texas. 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. 118 and Counting – Harvick scored his 100th career win in NASCAR’s top three series with his March 2018 Las Vegas win. He now has 118 total victories – 57 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).
