No. 4 Kevin Harvick wins in overtime restarting from the fourth row (2013).

In 2013 at Richmond Kevin Harvick proved once again that he is always a threat even when not running in the first positions. When the race got to overtime Jeff Burton and Jamie McMurray were on the first row while Harvick was restarting way back in the fourth row. Nobody was thinking of him as a potential winner but on the restart he made some magic happen. As the green flag waved he quickly moved to the bottom of the racetrack gaining a lot of positions. When the pack exited turn two he was already up to second and in a moment he ran down Burton for the lead. With a perfect move on the outside of turn three he moved to first place. In one lap he had passed the three rows in front of him and then easily cruised to victory.
