FORT WORTH, Texas (AP)
— Kevin Harvick earned a
shot at another NASCAR
Cup championship, rock-
eting past polesitter Ryan
Blaney in overtime Sunday
to win at Texas.
Another late caution led to
a third restart in the final 35
laps, each time with Har-
vick leading. Harvick led
177 of the 337 laps.
After taking the inside on
the first two restarts, and
briefly losing the lead after
the second one, Harvick
opted to start from outside
for the green-white-check-
ered finish. By time they got
to the backstretch, Harvick
had pushed his No. 4 Ford
in front and raced to his
eighth win of this season.
“I thought if I could keep Saints hand previously unbeaten Rams 1st loss
him from finishing the cor-
ner I could drive back by
him,” Harvick said. “It all
worked out.” New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson (82) celebrates his touchdown with wide receiver Michael Thomas in the first half of
an NFL football game against the Los Angeles Rams in New Orleans, Sunday, Nov. 4, 2018.
