Kevin Harvick
NASCAR XFINITY SERIES ATLANTA
Kevin Harvick continued his dominance at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Saturday as he rolled to victory in the NASCAR XFINITY Series Hisense 250.
The victory is Harvick’s third-straight NASCAR XFINITY Series victory at the 1.5-mile oval and his fourth overall.
The only driver able to keep up with Harvick all day was Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano. Logano started from the pole in the No. 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang and led the first 49 laps.
Logano gave up the lead when he made his first pit stop of the day under green on lap 50. Harvick, who pitted four laps earlier than Logano, was able to make up enough ground with his fresh tires to overtake Logano during the cycle of green flag pit stops to take the lead.
Harvick would hold the lead during the middle portion of the event as Logano tried to chase him down. A caution flag on lap 87 reset Harvick’s advantage and allowed Logano to close the gap. The field returned to racing on lap 91 and Harvick maintained the lead, but this time he couldn’t pull away from Logano.
Logano stayed in Harvick’s mirror for the next 30 laps as he tried to get close enough to pass him. He was finally able to do it with 37 laps left, driving by Harvick in turn two as the lead duo overtook a lap car.
Logano’s advantage was short lived. Just as green flag pit stops began the caution flag waved for the final time on lap 30. During the caution period both Harvick and Logano pitted for fuel and fresh tires, with Harvick’s crew getting him off pit road first with the lead.
The field returned to racing with 25 laps left and thanks in large part to a big push from third-place Chase Elliott, Harvick was able to jump back into the lead ahead of Logano. Logano tried desperately to chase Harvick down over the final 25 laps, getting within half a second of the race leader.
Logano gave it everything he could but it wasn’t enough for him to catch Harvick, who crossed the finish line 1.2-seconds clear of Logano to score his first victory of the young season.
“That pit stop is what won this race,” Harvick said in victory lane. “Joey probably had a little better car the second half of the run and it really played out for us there at the end as we were able to have that short run and take off.
“I knew I needed to take off. I thought his car was a little bit better as we got to about lap 20 and he’d start reeling us in from that point on,” Harvick said.
In the final laps of the race Logano reported to his crew that he had a loose wheel, which made it difficult for the Team Penske driver to push hard enough to catch Harvick.
“We were able to pass him there in the long run and I said man, this is the closest anyone has been to beating Kevin here in a long time,” Logano said. “We came down pit road and we got beat off pit road. We had a decent restart for the outside lane. The outside lane is so tough.
“The 9 (Elliott) was able to push him out ahead. At that point I was just trying to move around different lanes and trying to find something with some speed. I was starting to catch him and then I just had this huge vibration. The left-rear was just loose. At that point I was just trying to survive and hope the left-rear didn’t pass me,” Logano said.
Ty Dillon finished third, making him the top NASCAR XFINITY Series competitor in the field. Chris Buescher and defending series champion Chase Elliott rounded out the top five.

Kevin Harvick
wears the GP.2 Carbon with a top forced air attachment.
The GP.2 Carbon features an ultra-lightweight carbon shell made using Bell’s high-pressure resin transfer molding system, allowing us to build a carbon helmet with superior performance at an economical price. The GP.2 Carbon is certified to the Snell SA2010 and the FIA8858 standard. The FIA8858 certification requires the helmet to be tested for use with Head and Neck Restraint Devices. Bell’s M6 terminal hardware is incorporated into the helmet shell and accepts anchor systems.
The GP.2 Carbon features a front aero chin bar, an ultra-lightweight, pro-style interior for outstanding comfort and a front air intake that forces air into the helmet's forehead vents for maximum ventilation. The .200mm GP.2 air intake is replaceable and the helmet can be used without the air intake. The direct flow upper and lower chin bar vents on the front of the helmet help to increase airflow and prevent shield fogging. The GP.2 Carbon can also be adapted for use as a top forced air helmet. The top forced air kit has been designed to utilize the helmet’s vents to flow air around the top of the head and also maximize airflow to the face by directing the air to the eye port between the foam seal and back of the shield. The top forced air kit is available in clear ($39.95) or carbon fiber ($99.95). Both versions are available with Bell’s standard V.05 nozzle or the smaller QL nozzle.
The GP.2 Carbon is built with an interior that can be adapted for use with ear cups. Originally developed for Bell’s rally helmets, the ear cups can be incorporated into the helmet’s interior by installing an ear cup face piece and collar assembly. The integrated ear cups provide a quieter environment for the driver by reducing the ambient noise transmitted to the ear. Bell has developed a specific liner and face piece to allow the helmet to accommodate ear cups. The GP.2 Carbon can be easily adapted for use with ear cups by installing the GP.2 ear cup face piece ($39.95) and full EC neck collar ($19.95) plus standard size 21mm ear cups ($29.95). The total price is $89.95 to convert the GP.2 Carbon for use with ear cups. The cups install with Velcro and include spacers to adjust the fit as needed.
The GP.2 Carbon has been designed to work with Bell's aero kits including chin bar gurneys, top gurneys and rear spoilers to configure the helmet for all open wheel and open compartment forms of racing depending on aerodynamic requirements and environment. While the GP.2 Carbon has a front aero lip and chin bar designed into the helmet, these aerodynamic kits enhance helmet performance to provide greater helmet stability at higher speeds.
The GP.2 Carbon takes a 287 SRV Shield which features the SRV-1 pivot system and thumb tab on the drivers left side to allow for easy shield operation. The GP.2 Carbon incorporates Bell's redesigned face piece with recessed areas that allow for seamless radio integration and easy installation. Racers can also customize the fit of the GP.2 Carbon by using Bell's Cheek Pad Inserts in 5mm, 10mm, 15mm and 20mm sizes to tighten the fit in the cheek area. The GP.2 Carbon is available in carbon finish only in size 7 1/8 minus (57-) to 7 3/4 and retails for $799.95.

Matt Crafton
NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES ATLANTA WINNER
Matt Crafton was in a league of his own Saturday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway as he cruised to his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory of the season during the Hyundai Construction Equipment 200.
The two-time defending series champion started 15th but quickly roared through the field, bypassing Erik Jones on lap 45 to take the lead for the first time. He gave up the lead briefly to Daniel Suarez during a restart on lap 58, but he got the lead back one lap later.
Once out front again on lap 59, he didn’t give up the lead again. He eventually crossed the finish line nearly nine seconds ahead of second-place Ty Dillon.
“This Menards Toyota Tundra was fast,” said Crafton, who led a race-high 85 laps Saturday evening. “I was really disappointed in qualifying but it didn’t have a whole lot of single car speed by itself. But I knew once they dropped the green and this thing took off and ran three laps, I’m like oh we’ve got something for these boys.”
The victory at Atlanta came in Crafton’s 14th start at the 1.5-mile oval, a track Crafton considers his favorite on the circuit.
“This is my favorite race track by far. You search and you move around so much. Now that I’ve got this win, it is an amazing feeling,” Crafton said.
Dillon, who earlier in the day finished third in the NASCAR XFINITY Series race, said the only way he was going to have a shot at Crafton was for the caution flag to wave.
“Shane Huffman and the GMS guys did a great job getting this Rheem Chevy dialed in. We just came up a little short in both the races today,” Dillon said. “We battled hard. Wish we could have rest the field there and maybe had a caution and we might have had a shot, but those ThorSport and Kyle Busch cars were good.”
Ben Kennedy, who started from the pole after a confusing qualifying session Saturday morning, finished third to match his career-best finish. Daniel Suarez and Daytona winner Tyler Reddick completed the top five.

Matt Crafton chooses the Bell RS.7 Carbon with top forced air.
The RS7 Carbon is available in two variations, non-duckbill (with regular interior) and a Ear Cup version (compatible with ear cups to reduce ambient noise). Both can be adapted for closed car forms of racing with top forced air inserts to improve ventilation (accessory items sold separately). The Snell SA2010 and FIA8858-2010 homologated RS7 Carbon is also designed to work with Bell’s chin bar, top gurney and rear spoiler kits to enhance helmet performance and stability at higher speeds. The RS7 Carbon improves shield seal with the hollow synthetic rubber gasket and takes the SE07 3MM shield with Double Screen Anti Fog Insert (DSAF) which features the SV SE07 pivot system with thumb tab on the driver’s left side to allow for easy shield operation. Available in carbon finish in sizes
7 1/8 (57) to 7 3/4 (62), the RS7 Carbon includes M6 terminal hardware for head and neck restraint device
