FONTANA, Calif. — After five Sprint Cup races into the 2011 season, there have been five different winners.
Kevin Harvick’s win Sunday at California made him the fifth winner.
“We had him (Johnson) beat last year and I gave it away,” said Harvick. “This is our first win this year, but it isn’t because we haven’t had good cars. We’ve had a lot of adversity. Our cars have been fast and we showed it today.”
Harvick made a pass around Johnson on the last lap that was about the only dramatic moment of a boring 200-lap race.
Kyle Busch was leading the race after a restart on lap 190. Johnson passed Busch with four to go, with Harvick right on his tail. Harvick dogged Johnson until the two cars were going down the back straightaway on the last lap.
Harvick put the nose of his No. 29 Chevrolet under the rear bumper of Johnson’s car and pushed him as they entered the third turn. The extra momentum forced Johnson to slow down a little. Harvick went to the outside, took the lead, then cut down to the low part of the track, as the two cars headed to the checkered flag.
Harvick’s margin of victory was about a car-length.
“We couldn’t hold him off any longer,” said Johnson, who has yet to win a race in 2011. “I was way loose there at the end. I hate to lose a race that close to the finish, but that was all we could do today.”
Kyle Busch led the most laps (151), and had the dominant car for most of the day, but wound up third.
“We lost the handling on the car,” said Busch. “I couldn’t handle it going into the turns or coming out of the turns. We were in position to win, but I couldn’t get it down.”
The remaining top-10 finishers were Matt Kenseth, Ryan Newman, Carl Edwards, Clint Bowyer, Brian Vickers, Kasey Kahne and polesitter Juan Montoya.
Kenseth’s fourth place in the waning laps of the race led three Roush Fenway cars to finish in the top 11.Carl Edwards used a sixth-place finish to claim the Sprint Cup points lead, giving Roush Fenway the lead in both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series (Ricky Stenhouse Jr.)
Dale Earnhardt Jr. never led a lap and finished 12th.
Tony Stewart had a strong car all day, but wound up 13th.
Top 12 Chase leaders after 5 of 36: 1. Edwards-187, 2. Newman-178, 3. Kurt Busch-177, 4. Kyle Busch-176, 5. Johnson-173, 6. Stewart-170, 7. Menard-164, 8. Montoya-161, 9. Harvick-157, 10. Kenseth-157, 11. Kahne-157, 12. Earnhardt-156.
