Kevin Harvick is winless so far this season, but the NASCAR Cup Series veteran finds himself at one of his favorite tracks this weekend.
The man behind the wheel of the No. 4 Ford heads into Sunday's FireKeepers Casino 400 on a three-race winning streak at Michigan International Speedway. Harvick could clinch one of the final available playoff spots with a win or via points.
Harvick will face some stiff competition from NASCAR's top drivers, though, including Cup Series points leader Kyle Larson, who has a chance to clinch the regular-season title.
