Homestead Miami- Ford EcoBoost 400

Homestead Miami- Ford EcoBoost 400 - The Championship Race was a great race. Riddled with 13 cautions, most because of the cars kissing the walls and tire wear. Jeff Gordon had the car to beat, but made a late race pit stop with no one following to render him a 10th place finish.  The four Championship contenders stayed in the top 6 or 7 for the most of the race. This was a great race for the championship. Kevin Harvick out raced Ryan Newman and Denny Hamlin on the finally restart to take the race and the Championship. Joey Lagano had miscue on pit road putting him out of contention with just 20 laps to go.

Congratulations Kevin Harvick!!!
