Is Kevin Harvick already a lock to be among the 2018 championship four at Homestead? That might be overstating it, but his early playoff point total is significant. Thanks to two race wins (Atlanta and Las Vegas) and three stage wins, the Stewart-Haas Racing stalwart already has 13 playoff points, which carry over round-by-round (until Homestead) if a driver continues to advance. In 2017, Harvick earned only eight playoff points through the entire regular season (26 races).
