Kevin Harvick, who grew up in Bakersfield — about 150 miles from Auto Club Speedway — needed a last-lap pass of Jimmie Johnson to win for the first time at the 2-mile track in his 18th attempt.
Harvick won Sunday’s Auto Club 400, powering his No. 29 Chevrolet to the outside of Johnson’s No. 48 Chevy through Turns 3 and 4 and beating Johnson to the finish line by .144 seconds.
