MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Kevin Harvick won’t be celebrating a championship Sunday evening at Phoenix Raceway, but Harvick is certainly a champion. With 60 victories, Harvick ranks 10th in all-time NASCAR Cup Series winners. “For weeks Piper (his daughter) has been like, ‘Dad, why do you have to go to the next one?
