JOLIET, Ill. (AP) -- Ryan Newman's gamble paid off. Kevin Harvick's didn't.

Newman and an empty gas tank spoiled Harvick's bid for three straight Chicagoland Speedway victories, with Newman pulling away at the end to win the Tropicana 400 on Sunday.

Newman and Harvick both pitted to top off their tanks on lap 198 of the 267-lap race, hoping to stretch the fuel to the end. Newman made it, and Harvick didn't.

Newman got out of the pits first and took the lead for good on Lap 210 when the drivers ahead of him all pitted under caution. Harvick worked his way to second on Lap 225 and was close behind when the green flag waved on Lap 240 for a restart following the last of seven caution flags in the race. More
