No. 4 Kevin Harvick

While the team finished on top of the sport, the run to the title was anything but dull for Harvick and crew chief Rodney Childers. While the cars were bad fast all season, problems on pit road probably kept the win totals from hitting double digits. The cars were fast enough to win more than 10 races, but slow pit stops, mechanical failures and pit road speeding penalties cost the team. After swapping pit crews with Tony Stewart prior to the chase, the consistency was found on pit road and Harvick was able to hoist the Sprint Cup trophy.

2014 was the culmination of everything that Harvick has experienced in his NASCAR career. A driver at his age moving to a new team is not an ideal situation but Harvick and Stewart-Haas racing made it work. Aside from winning a championship in 2014, Harvick fans will also remember 2014 as the season that Harvick shoved Brad Keselowski into getting a taste of his own medicine.
