Kevin Harvick wins the 2015 Campingworld.com 500 at Phoenix International Raceway


For the fourth straight race at Phoenix it was Kevin Harvick celebrating in Victory Lane .


In a dominant performance, Kevin Harvick's hot streak continued Sunday winning the CampingWorld.com 500 at Phoenix International Raceway.


The win was Harvick's second consecutive on the season and the fourth straight on the Arizona oval where he owns a track-record seven victories overall.


It's almost scary how well things are going," Harvick said. "You don't want to talk about it too much because you want it to keep going. But I'm just really proud of these guys on this team and everything that they do."


Jamie McMurray finished second. Completing the top-five was Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne and Kurt Busch. Busch was making his first start of the season after serving a three-week suspension.


Harvick dominated throughout the afternoon, leading 224 of a possible 312 laps. A late caution, however, tightened the field with 17 laps remaining. On the ensuing restart, McMurray got the jump and captured the lead. After a brief tussle Harvick passed McMurray and drove away.


"The restarts were just really slippery," Harvick said. "You had to really maintain your entrance speed and really slide the thing through the center of the corner to try to help keep it pointed up off."
