BRISTOL, Tenn. -- Kevin Harvick won the night race at Bristol Motor Speedway that wasnt.He won a race that had four rain delays, including one of 17 hours, 42 minutes, that stretched from the race being suspended overnight Saturday into Sunday, making it the first night race in Bristol history not actually completed at night.The weirdness didnt end there. He won a Bristol race that was nothing really like Bristol had ever seen. Two distinct grooves existed, one upper groove and one lower groove that had improved grip thanks to a resin applied to an 18-inch-wide lane.It created a Bristol that didnt feature any classic bump-and-runs, the kind that generated excitement back in what many view as the good ol days. But it did allow drivers choices of lanes, and that resin was also blamed for a wreck that took out several contenders.So Harvick, who led the final 71 laps, didnt necessarily win in typical Bristol fashion. He didnt celebrate in typical fashion, either. Harvicks car owner and good friend Tony Stewart joined him for a two-car burnout celebration as part of Stewarts final trip to Bristol before hanging up his Sprint Cup drivers suit.That is part of what made the win special to Harvick. He had not won at Bristol since 2005 and will now go home with a 300-pound trophy that sits on wheels.I just won a trophy, Harvick said. I dont care where it came from, what the situation is.That is not the typical night race winning quotes, because this place has such a cool factor. But amid all the differences of Bristol past, Harvicks message was a familiar one: He took advantage of having the best car late in the race and the opportunity for the win. Its something he hasnt done much this year -- he had not won in the previous 18 races -- and something any driver and team have to do if they want to put themselves in position to win a championship.Harvicks second win of the season gave Chevrolet just its sixth of 2016. The Fords have six and the Toyotas have 11.So theres the reason Harvick gets mentioned among title contenders ... but not as the definitive one.Its us against us, Harvick said. Thats how were going to treat it, and if thats not good enough, then well go back to the drawing board next year.That might sound a little cocky, but Harvick typically carries that swagger only when he truly feels that way. He ranked third coming into Bristol in laps and miles led this year. The victory put him back atop the series points standings.I think we have a good plan, Harvick said. I think we have great cars, and weve made a lot of adjustments. ... Hopefully this win and everything getting ready to start with the Chase is going to put all the pieces together, and I think everybody has been working hard to do that.The weekend didnt start out all that grand. With rain forecast for Friday, the team did not do a mock qualifying run and missed the setup, resulting in Harvick rolling off 24th Saturday night.Qualifying in the back kind of motivates me. ... Its kind of exciting, Harvick said. I like to pass cars. [My crew chief] doesnt really like to do it that way, but I think its fun to pass cars.The feel when he rolled off Saturday night did have the Bristol night race aura. The crowd was much larger than it was for the April day race and the buzz generated from a great Xfinity Series race the night before added an extra pulse.For Harvick, it was a great sight. It was through the suggestions of the NASCAR Drivers Council from meetings in May with Bristol track ownership that the idea of using some sort of sealer was pushed.It gave everybody an option to do something different, and as a driver, thats what you want, you want options, Harvick said. You dont want to get stuck behind a car thats four- or five-tenths [a second per lap] slower than you after youve just run them down from a half a lap and cant pass him.Kurt Busch blamed hitting the sealer for his wreck. He didnt get into it the right way, causing him to crash in front of the field and taking some strong drivers -- Brad Keselowski, Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney and Matt Kenseth -- with him. Ironically, Busch was about to be black-flagged by NASCAR for jumping the restart but NASCAR didnt make the ruling before Busch lost it.It was just one of many ways where drivers lost this race. Denny Hamlin had a speeding penalty before rallying to finish third.Harvick had no such miscues.Im happy for these guys, Stewart said. This is a hard place to win at. There are so many things that can go wrong. All it takes is one thing.Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Austin Dillon had hoped to mount challenges in seeking their first wins, but they didnt have enough for Harvick and finished second and fourth, respectively. Chris Buescher finished fifth and vaulted to 30th in the standings, 13 points ahead of David Ragan and in position to use his Pocono win to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup with just three races left in the regular season.Weve been confident in our cars, just not confident in closing everything out, from myself, to is it ever really going to happen again, and I think that goes away tonight, Harvick said. You get back into that [groove].We know we have fast cars, knowing that you can win again, and it kind of happened that way for us in 2014 at Charlotte when we won [and then won the title], and it just kind of re-instilled that confidence of everything we know we can do, and it finally all just came together.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. The beer mile has gotten some pretty serious attention in the past year. World-record holder Lewis Kent, who can chug four beers and run a mile in four minutes and 47 seconds, signed a shoe endorsement deal with Brooks. And an entrepreneur started the National Beer Mile, a traveling circuit of beer mile events around the United States.On Thursday we got an email regarding a beer mile completed in eight minutees and 49 seconds.dddddddddddd That didnt sound too impressive until we found out the runner had added another challenge.
