Kevin Harvick would match legends with win at Texas

Here's a quick statistical morsel for you to chew on while we wait for Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series racing to return to the track Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway (2 p.m. ET, FS1, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio): If Kevin Harvick wins Sunday at Texas it would be his fourth victory in the season's first seven races and would match him with a couple of NASCAR legends in Richard Petty and Bill Elliott. Petty and Elliott went on similar hot streaks in 1975 and 1992, respectively, with the King's four wins coming at Richmond, Bristol, Atlanta and North Wilkesboro. Elliott's victories happened at Rockingham, Richmond, Atlanta and Darlington (consecutively). Dale Earnhardt holds the record with five wins in the first seven races, with his feat coming during a 1987 season when he won six of the season's first eight races. Earnhardt won a career-high 11 times that year and also took home his third of seven series championships. Source: NASCAR statistical services.
