QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE

Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

Now you’re talking symmetry?

Yes, symmetry. Everything just might be lining up in the proper order for the conclusion of the 2018 Cup Series season. Remember, on three different occasions this year, a driver put together a three-race win streak. Kevin Harvick did it beginning in Week 2. Kyle Busch followed in spring. And Brad Keselowski had his own hat trick starting in early September. It’d be fitting to end the year with another.

You’re assuming Harvick wins Phoenix?

He has a bit of a track record there, you know. Nine of his 45 career wins have come at Phoenix, including this past March, when he capped his three-race streak. If he does it again, he goes to Homestead with a chance at another three-peat and, of course, the championship. To help his cause, let’s assume Joey Logano would be a little more careful around a guy like Harvick.
