Kevin Harvick brings us to green for the final stage. Kevin Harvick was able to get out front with a good lead. The battles are happening behind him. One of those big battles were for tenth place which included Jimmie Johnson and Brad Keselowski. Quinn Houff over corrected the car and was able to save it with little to no damage. Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin bring us back to green from the caution. Denny Hamlin was able to secure second place in front of Joey Logano. Denny Hamlin thinks he has a loose wheel and or vibration. So that will move him well back in the pack. Kevin Harvick has a slight issue and is slightly loose. Corey LaJoie scrapes the wall. This brings out a caution with just over twenty laps. Jimmie Johnson took two tires for track difference, but was not able to hold first place. Once Harvick made it back out front, he made sure to put distance between himself and the other drivers. He is our unofficial second winner at Dover.
