NASCAR Saturday race at Pocono results: 3 takeaways from Kevin Harvick's victory

Before Saturday, Kevin Harvick was one of a handful of NASCAR drivers with 51 Cup Series race victories. Now, he's a 52-time race winner who finally conquered Pocono Raceway after 39 career starts at the track.

"That's great to finally check Pocono off the list," Harvick said on Fox after winning the Pocono Organics 325. He had previously finished in second place four times, but never in first.

The No. 4 driver completed the race just ahead of Denny Hamlin, in second place, and in front of Aric Almirola in third.

Harvick the Cup Series points leader, now only has Kentucky and the ROVAL race at Charlotte to check off his resume. He will start 20th for Sunday's race at Pocono after the lineup is inverted.
