Kevin Harvick completed a sweep of the Michigan doubleheader and set himself up as a dominant player in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.
The unthinkable happened as two Team Penske drivers battled for the race lead during the final stage of Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway.

Both five-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon and Ben Bretzman, Team Penske race engineer for last year’s Indy 500 pole sitter and race winner Simon Pagenaud, believe the extra boost for Indy qualifying this year will more than compensate for additional drag caused by the aeroscreen.
