Today at 3:30 p.m. ET on Fox Kevin Harvick will be the man to beat at Phoenix International Speedway, where NASCAR’s season will rage on. Race fans can live stream the action free by clicking this link.
Harvick has come in first or second place in six straight Sprint Cup races. Jeff Gordon, Darrell Waltrip and Richard Petty are the only other drivers to accomplish such a feat, and it hasn’t been done in 20 years.
On top of his recent run, Harvick’s always been stellar at the Phoenix track, picking up first-place finishes in four of his last five races in the desert.
Despite Harvick’s high level of success of late, the big story will be the return to the track of Kurt Busch, who missed the first three races of the 2015 season because of a suspension for his involvement in a domestic violence incident.
Busch has steadfastly denied committing an act of domestic violence, and expressed deep gratitude to be racing again on Wednesday.
"It means the world to me to be back in the car," Busch said. "It's been a tough situation the last few months, and I've gone through this with confidence knowing that I know the truth and that I never did any of the things that I was accused of.
"It was a complete fabrication. It was unfortunate that my personal life crossed over and affected my business life. I can't wait to get to the track to see my team, to shake their hands and say, 'Thanks for the support.'"
