The fifth and final win of Harvick's 2006 season came at (surprise) Phoenix. Putting on a performance he would rival in later years at the track, Harvick led 252 of 312 laps for the victory. The five wins for the season were the most "Happy" had in one season (up to that point in his career), and the 895 laps led were his most until the move to Stewart-Haas Racing in the 2014 season.

Harvick came to Phoenix needing a win to advance to the Championship 4 and "Happy" delivered in a major way. He led 264 of 312 laps to come through with a walk-off win to move his team into the next round and one step closer to the championship Harvick had long sought.

28. Ford EcoBoost 400, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Nov. 16, 2014.

Harvick posted back-to-back wins in 2015 and his fourth straight win at the Arizona track in blistering fashion as he led 224 laps out of 312 for the win. Numbers wise, the 2015 campaign would prove to be even better, even if the result was not the same. For the season, Harvick set a career high in laps led (2,294) for a season. To put that in perspective, he led less than that total in his last seven seasons (2007-13) at Richard Childress Racing.
