Despite suffering severe neck pain and nearly 100-degree heat, nothing could slow Harvick down. He led a whopping 143 of 160 laps en route to his third truck win of the season. The margin of victory? 5.241 seconds.

“The longer I ran, I actually felt better,” Harvick said. “As the race went on, I got more and more relaxed.”

Harvick didn’t have much time to enjoy the win before having to jump into his Nationwide car for the race immediately following.

Also pulling double-duty on Saturday, Brad Keselowski finished second.

“The only way we were going to win the race is if he made a mistake, and I felt like he did. He passed the pace car pitting and you’re not supposed to do that,” said Keselowski. “He got away with that one, so we didn’t catch that break.”

Johnny Sauter was third followed by Todd Bodine, Matt Crafton, Timothy Peters, Austin Dillon, Aric Almirola, Brian Ickler and Mike Skinner completed the top-10.
