After topping Saturday's opening practice, Kevin Harvick led the final practice for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup SeriesPocono 400 at Pocono Raceway (1 p.m. ET, TNT). Harvick posted a fast lap of 175.606 to lead the way once again.
Stewart-Haas Racing looked strong in final practice as in addition to Harvick, Kurt Busch (second, 175.545 mph), Tony Stewart (fourth, 175.370 mph) and Danica Patrick (11th, 174.206 mph) were all in the top 11 on the speed chart.
There was a bit of a concern for Harvick's No. 4 team early in final practice. A transmission oil leak forced his team to change transmissions, according to FOX Sports 1. Changing transmissions will not force him to go to the back of the field. He is set to start on Row 2 from the fourth position.
