Kevin Harvick Starts Sixth At Martinsville
4 years agoStewart-Haas Racing's Kevin Harvick will roll off from the sixth position in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Harvick comes into Martinsville just needing to avoid a catastrophe to advance to his fifth straight championship race appearance. In 38 career starts at the half-mile track, Harvick has one win, five top-fives, and 19 top-10 finishes. Harvick's only win came in 2011 when he was still a member of Richard Childress Racing, and in 13 races in the SHR No. 4, Harvick only has a best finish of fifth. Harvick has also failed to lead a single lap since 2016 and struggled in June, finishing a lap down in 15th. Harvick's DFS salary is towards the top, and this is one week where he can be left out of lineups. With the chaos that will likely ensue as drivers desperately try to punch their ticket to the title race, Harvick will likely be on the conservative side and not worth the investment.
