Kevin Harvick Clinches NASCAR Regular Season Title After Dover Win

Kevin Harvick grabbed yet another victory in the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series. This time, he stormed to the win at the Dover International Speedway and is officially the 2020 Regular Season Champion.

As a result of this, Harvick heads into the final race of the regular season with a 15-point cushion. This will be a massive boost for the driver, ahead of the 10-race NASCAR Playoff. As it turns out, the Top-10 drivers in the regular-season standings earn bonus points, with a maximum of 15 and one point for 10th.

Harvick noted that this victory was important because Denny Hamlin clinched win in Saturday’s race. So it was vital to get his advantage back. Kevin Harvick also observed that the playoffs are generally unpredictable, so he and the team are taking it one race at a time.

Kevin Harvick is determined to win this season

He said, “I love the grit of our race team. I think that is what Gene Haas and Tony Stewart have built at Stewart-Haas Racing. A team with a lot of grit. Sometimes we don’t have the fastest car but we have guys willing to suck it up. When we have a weak link that day someone else will carry the team.”

This year, Kevin Harvick has been a picture of consistency, finishing in the Top-3 on several occasions. There have been instances where he had a bad day in the office, but never let that stop him.

With seven victories and seven stage wins, Harvick has already amassed 42 playoff points heading into the Dover double-header.

With this, Kevin Harvick succeeds Kyle Busch as the NASCAR Cup Series regular-season champion. Before him, the triumphant driver was Martin Truex Jr.

As it happens, Truex became the inaugural regular-season Champion in 2017, the year of its inception. Since then, the regular-season champ has gone on to win the playoff title on two occasions.
