Kevin Harvick finishes NASCAR sweep with second weekend victory at Michigan

The finish of Sunday's NASCAR race at Michigan mirrored the season so far: A battle in the final laps of the Consumers Energy 400 between Cup Series leaders Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin.

Harvick took the checkered flag, holding off Hamlin by less than a tenth of a second, to sweep the doubleheader weekend. He won Saturday's race at the track as well, and now has the most race wins this season with six, one more than Hamlin. Martin Truex Jr. finished in third.

Sunday's victory also makes Harvick the first driver to win back-to-back NASCAR races on the same weekend since Richard Petty in 1971, but Harvick said he and his No. 4 Ford Mustang team are already looking to dominate at upcoming tracks.

"I think for us, it's worked out pretty well," Harvick said of the doubleheader races on the NBCSN broadcast. "We're hoping it goes the same way at Dover."
