NASCAR at Dover: Today’s lineups, TV schedule, live scoring, updates and more

Talk about coming through in the clutch.

That Harvick would win and Johnson would fail to advance is an unexpected dramatic twist to what happened after the first Chase race at Chicagoland Speedway. By the end of 400 laps, Harvick picked up his third win of the season, allowing him to advance to the next round of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.

Today’s NASCAR Sprint Cup AAA 400 race has a start time schedule of 2:30pm eastern time, 11:30am pacific time, and airs on TV channel NBCSN, the NBC Sports Network. This weekend’s race will be the last one on the Monster Mile for one of NASCAR’s all-time greats. We’re that type of team that when you’re backed in a corner like this, what are you supposed to do? “It was completely out of my control how many laps we were down”. “That’s not what we’re made out of”.

The result had to be a huge relief for Harvick, who for the second year in a row had to listen to critics question why he hadn’t managed to produce a race win since March.

In a win or be eliminated race, Kevin Harvick pushed his vehicle to the limit in order to pull off a must win victory on Sunday.

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series returns to action next Saturday night under the lights at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Bank of America 500. Now, they all have to deal down the stretch with a driver who has led 571 of 700 laps run the past two weeks.

“The hardest thing I did all day was get out of bed”, said Kenseth with a laugh. A week ago at New Hampshire, Harvick was leading with three laps to go when he ran out of fuel.

“I don’t think there was really any pressure”, Harvick countered. “All in all, it was business as usual”.

Matt Kenseth, driver of the #20 Dollar General Toyota, leads the field in the pits during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series AAA 400 at Dover global Speedway on October 4, 2015 in Dover, Delaware. “Just sorry we aren’t able to go to the next round”. The No. 48 team came back, and finished the race, but in 41st.

Harvick was too hot to do it Sunday. Dover also presented him with 90 miniature Monster trophies for his entire No. 24 team and his family.“I dont know how were going to get all those home, ” he said.

For example, a comeback season for Kyle Busch is down to one or done. Gordon said. “I like that they are going to put it back into the leader’s hands a little bit”.

“We finished where I thought we deserved to be”.

“They (public) just fire on Johnson when he comes to Dover”, Salmons said. He’s won three of the past four races and seven of the last 13. “I’ve always been a Jeff Gordon fan – when he first started out, as young as he was”, she said. Once we told them the news, they were really excited to work with Elliott and OneMain…. “But we had a late caution and got around him”. “We’ve been through situations like this before”. “I feel like we are in a very similar position this weekend.”Gordon was among the drivers who praised NASCARs decision to double the restart zone for this weekends race from 70 feet to 140 feet.The restart rules were unchanged, and drivers will still line up double file. Harvick is 0 for 29 at Dover.

“If you’re not ready for it, it’ll eat you up”, Harvick said. “I wasn’t going to bash my head against a concrete wall for a damned loose wheel, so we just came in sooner than later”.

“Got to cover your bases as a parent”.
