Add another Chase qualifier to your list. Although #29-Kevin HarvickÂs name wasnÂt announced Saturday night at Bristol, NASCARÂs subsequent review of the points standings showed that Harvick should have been included among those who will compete for the Sprint Cup championship in the 10-race Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Harvick has three victories and 782 points, tied with Jeff Gordon for fifth in the Cup standings. Harvick is 110 points ahead of one-time winner Denny Hamlin, who currently occupies the second wild-card position behind three-time winner Brad Keselowski. Even if Harvick finishes last in the next two races (scoring two points) and Hamlin wins both and leads the most laps (scoring 96 points), Harvick will get the wild card because of his higher finish in the standings.(Sporting News)(8-29-2011)
