He figures to be even harder to beat Sunday at ISM Raceway, the mile oval in the foothills outside Phoenix where he has a record eight victories.
Trying to become the first driver to win three straight NASCAR Cup races since Joey Logano in 2015, Harvick topped the speed charts for both practice sessions Saturday. Fittingly, the 2014 season champion's No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford has a Jimmy John's "Freaky Fast!" paint scheme.
