Kevin Harvick is currently third in the standings but has yet to win a race this season. The 2015 champion has two wins in 30 races in the track, but his form has improved with seven consecutive top 10 finishes. Bristol might not be the most likely place for Harvick’s first win of the year, but the bullring always has a surprise or two in store.
