Well, at least he's been here before.
A rough day at Chicagoland Speedway didn't sit particularly well with Kevin Harvick on Sunday. It's the second straight year he's had a poor performance at the track that opens the Chase and will be the second straight year the 2014 Sprint Cup champion will have to dig himself out of an early postseason hole.
The bad day began with unapproved body modifications that sent him to the rear of the field before the race even began. Then, after working his way back into the top 10 on Lap 49, he got held up in the pits and went a lap down when Aric Almirola's pit crew had a tire roll away from the pit box.
