Kevin Harvick led one lap in Sunday’s Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway and it was the most important one, the last one.

For the second time in as many visits to Bristol Motor Speedway, Kyle Busch managed to win every race.

Carl Edwards was fastest in the first practice session on Friday and backup it up by capturing the pole for Sunday’s Jeff Byrd 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway with a lap of 128.014mph.
