Phoenix – Kevin Harvick

Wins: 8
Top 5’s: 13
Top 10’s: 17
Laps Led: 1,484
Poles: 1

If you dive into the history of Phoenix International Raceway, you won’t find anyone with more wins than Kevin Harvick. In 2006, Harvick swept at Phoenix, leading 252 laps in the fall race.

It wouldnt be 2012 until he saw Victory Lane again but that started one of the most dominant runs at a track in NASCAR history. He won five out of seven races (including four in a row at one point) from 2012 to the present, with his 2015 fall finish of 2nd being determined because of rain.

During the stretch, he led 940 laps. From the spring of 2014 to the spring of 2015, Harvick led at least 224 laps in each race and showed that no one was going to be able to stop him.

Though there are a few other drivers with more top-5’s and top-10’s, there is no one that has had a streak as dominant as Harvick has. Before that, he had been a solid driver at the track, but in the recent years, he has dominated in the desert and he’s proving why the track will always be his favorite to race at.
