After just over two months of rest, drivers raced again at Darlington Raceway.
After 293 laps at the South Carolina Oval, Kevin Harvick was able to roll over the finish line as a winner, just over two seconds ahead of Alex Bowman and Kurt Busch. Harvick got to the front of the field after 150 laps, and then kept the lead all the way to the finish.
But of course, everything was not as usual. The first race after the corona was held in front of empty stands and no crowd celebrated on the scene when the 44-year veteran celebrated his 50th victory in Nascar.
- I didn't think it would make such a big difference without the crowd, but then we won in the team race and it was deadly out there, so yes, we lack the fans, said a mouth-watering Harvick in the victory interview.
With the victory, Harvick extended his lead in the overall table. The next race is already running the night until Thursday, Swedish time, even before an empty Darlington Raceway.
