Harvick's pole victory was the sixth of the season, highest among all Sprint Cup drivers. This time though, he needed help from the co-owner of his racing team Tony Stewart.

"The first run wasn't very good due to the driver not doing a good job," Harvick said.

"I felt like I had made a mistake the first run and never really got in the rhythm of doing exactly what he was doing," Harvick said. "He told me to go back to the way I was practicing and used to going around racetracks.

"It was definitely the right decision. He was definitely a big help in making sure. He had already run, knowing that it was going to be better lower."

Tony Stewart, who has missed the last three races following a tragic accident on a dirt track that resulted in the death of a fellow driver, 20-year-old Kevin Ward Jr.

"This has been one of the toughest tragedies I've ever had to deal with, both professionally and personally. This is something that will definitely affect my life forever," Stewart said.

"This is a sadness and a pain that I hope no one has to experience in their life. That being said, I know that the pain and the mourning that Kevin Ward's family and friends are experiencing is something that I can't possibly imagine."
