5 Lessons: Team Penske Is Tough in 2015

5 Lessons Learned On The Season By Jared Turner Harvick’s The Man To Beat While the season is still young and there are various scenarios that could stand in the way of Kevin Harvick winning a second consecutive Sprint Cup Series title, there’s no debating the fact that the Stewart-Haas Racing driver has been the driver to beat so far in 2015. Consider this: In six races, Harvick has won twice, led nearly 40 percent of all laps and finished either first or second in all but one outing. He has led the points since the season’s third race. So anyone who…

Tire call propels Keselowski to victory at Fontana

March 22, 2015 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service FONTANA, Calif.—After Sunday’s Auto Club 400, there may be a warrant issued for Brad Keselowski. After all, the driver of the No. 2 Team Penske Ford committed his own version of “Grand Theft Auto” at Auto Club Speedway—he stole an entire race. Benefitting from a four-tire call on the last lap of regulation and two opportune cautions that extended the event nine laps beyond its scheduled distance, Keselowski passed polesitter Kurt Busch on the final lap (209) and pulled away to win his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race of the season. Trying…

Kevin Harvick rides to fourth straight Phoenix win

March 15, 2015 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service AVONDALE, Ariz.—Yes, the best car won Sunday’s CampingWorld.com 500 at Phoenix International Raceway — but one-man juggernaut Kevin Harvick had to hold off charging Jamie McMurray on the final restart with 12 laps left to notch his fourth straight victory at the one-mile track. The box score will show that the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champ led 224 of 312 laps, but McMurray took his best shot on the Lap 301 restart, driving hard to the inside of the race winner and, for the briefest of moments, clearing Harvick’s No. 4 Stewart-Haas…

Kevin Harvick dominates Sprint Cup race at Las Vegas

Mar. 8, 2015 By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service LAS VEGAS, Nev.—Kevin Harvick must have been tired of finishing second, because on Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion did something about it. Once Harvick got to the front of the field from his 18th-place starting spot in the Kobalt 400, he was untouchable. Even with a disquieting vibration on the final green-flag run—and a left-rear tire that shredded during his celebratory burnout—Harvick had enough of a working margin to hold off runner-up Martin Truex Jr. by 1.640 seconds. Harvick, who ran second in the season-opening…

Jimmie Johnson dominates late for Atlanta win

By Reid Spencer NASCAR Wire Service HAMPTON, Ga.—Coors Light Polesitter Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick dominated the early and middle stages of Sunday's Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway—before Jimmie Johnson decided to crash the party. Johnson didn't take the lead in the second NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race of the season until Lap 198 of 325, but from then on, his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet was the class of the field, leading six times for 92 laps in winning for the fourth time at Atlanta and for the 71st time in his career. For the second straight…

Allmendinger reveals the person from history he most admires and more in an exclusive interview with NASCAR Pole Position. What runs through your mind when someone wrecks you? Just pure anger. You kind of get that red mist in your eyes and you want to go retaliate right away. Would you rather be liked by your peers or be successful? I'd rather be successful, but as an alternative to that I'd rather be…
