DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Kevin Harvick received a huge push from Denny Hamlin to power into the lead and steal a win in Saturday night's exhibition Budweiser Shootout.
Jamie McMurray appeared headed for the win at Daytona International Speedway until a late wreck set up a two-lap overtime sprint to the finish. Harvick was in fourth on the restart, and didn't seem to have anything for McMurray.
But as they closed in on the finish line, he used the push from Hamlin to slide past McMurray on the outside.
He coasted to the win as Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch all crashed behind him.
McMurray finished second and Tony Stewart was third.
