-

HAMPTON, GA. » For Joey Logano, the final 4-second margin behind Kevin Harvick felt more like a full lap. Harvick led 141 of 163 laps Saturday for his fifth NASCAR Xfinity series victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway and fourth in the last six years.

Logano finished second, ahead of Christophe­r Bell, who started on the pole. They were the only other drivers to lead laps.

Almost from the very start, the race belonged to Harvick. “I don’t think we were even close,” Logano said. “Kevin played with us all race long.”

Harvick also won the 2009 and 2013-2015 Atlanta Xfinity races before Kyle Busch won the last two years.
