Kevin Harvick lets QuikTrip 500 slip away

Kevin Harvick easily had the most dominant car all afternoon at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but a speeding penalty on the final pit stop cost him the victory. He finished ninth.

Harvick led the most laps, won both segments, and earned the third-most championship points for the race, but he was forced to start at the tail-end of the longest line with his penalty. Harvick passed five cars at the end to record his top-10 finish. He now has three playoff points that he will carry throughout the nine races heading into Homestead-Miami Speedway.
