Kevin Harvick pulls off New Hampshire win

Kevin Harvick set a new career-high for wins in a NASCAR Cup Series season by winning the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway over Kyle Busch.

The Stewart-Haas Racing driver now has six wins in 20 races this year, and there are still 16 races remaining on the schedule. Busch was denied what would have been his sixth win of the season, as Harvick pushed him up the track with seven laps to go before taking the lead and not looking back.

Martin Truex Jr., the third driver of what has become known as the "big three", finished in fourth place behind Harvick, Busch and Aric Almirola. Before today, Almirola had not recorded a podium finish since winning at Daytona in 2014.

With every passing race, it seems clearer and clearer that Harvick, Busch and Truex Jr. are set to battle it out for the 2018 Cup Series championship. All three of them advanced to last year's Championship 4 as well.

However, this is NASCAR, and anything can happen. After all, Kyle Larson was considered a lock to make the Championship 4 last year, and he didn't even make the round of 8. If those three drivers do advance to the Championship 4, who will the fourth driver be?
