Can Harvick succeed at The Glen and make it three consecutive victories?

In his NASCAR Cup Series career, Kevin Harvick currently broke a bad streak. He now has the opportunity to break another, more positive streak.

With his victory two weeks earlier at Michigan International Speedway, Harvick ended the second-longest unbeaten race of his career, which had lasted 65 races.

Then, previous weekend at Richmond (Va.) Raceway, Harvick claimed another victory, securing his spot in the 2022 playoffs and unexpectedly placing him in the running for the season’s overall victory.

The Cup Series will now move to Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International on Sunday with two races remaining in the regular season, raising the possibility that Harvick may make it three straight victories.

why not He has performed it previously, not too long ago.

In 2018, Harvick crashed out of the Daytona 500 at the start of the season but went on to triumph in the following three events: Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. He achieved a career-high of eight triumphs before year’s end.

Obviously, a race on a road circuit is very distinct from the previous two weekends, but Harvick has established himself as a skilled road racer over the course of his career, with triumphs at Sonoma (2017) and Watkins Glen (2006).

Given that he had to defeat recent Stewart-Haas Racing co-owner Tony Stewart to win at The Glen, Harvick stated it was one of his favourite victories of his profession.

With four of the remaining 90 laps remaining, Stewart had a good chance of winning the race for the third time in a row.

As the two drag-raced down the frontstretch and into Turn 1, Harvick, who had previously taken the lead in the race, beat Stewart on Lap 87 and eventually won the race. Stewart would return in 2007 and take home another victory, giving him three in four years.

“That was a fun day. Tony has always been really good at Watkins Glen and had a lot of success up there,” Harvick said. “The thing that I remember about racing Tony that year is just how good he was in the braking zone going into the ‘bus stop’ in the back.”

Harvick has finished 11th, fourth, 10th, and 33rd in the first four road races of this year at COTA, Sonoma, Road America, and the Indy Road Course.

“The big thing for us about Watkins Glen is we’ve been a little weak in the braking zones there over the last couple of years,” he said.

“Hopefully, that comfort level from the road racing we’ve done beforehand (this year) carries over to there because that would definitely make up our deficit that we’ve had over the last couple of years.”

Due in major part to the Next Gen’s sports car-like design, Harvick, 46, has stated numerous times this season that it is particularly suited for road courses.

“It’s definitely leaning more toward handling well at the road courses just because that’s kind of the nature of how it was designed. I think for me, our first road course was a lot more comfortable in the car than what we were last year,” he said.

“For the braking and things that come with this particular car, it’s been good for us on the road courses, so far.”

Harvick and his No. 4 SHR squad are unquestionably able to win once more this weekend, according to Greg Zipadelli, chief competition officer for Stewart-Haas Racing, who made this statement on Wednesday.

“The No. 4 car has done a really good job in the last, honestly you’ve got to go back to Nashville, Sonoma, Pocono, I think it gets overlooked at how good they ran at some of those race tracks,” he said. “They didn’t have an opportunity to win or lead a bunch of laps, but they had speed and it kind of started then.

“The last two weeks they’ve done a great job of executing. Things have gone their way. The cars have unloaded with a little bit more raw speed and it’s allowed them to have an opportunity to win and they’ve been able to capitalize on that.”
