2. Kevin Harvick – 2,050 points

If not for his buckled rear window at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March that led to a post-race penalty, Kevin Harvick would have been the top-seeded driver after the playoff reset, with seven wins in the season’s first 26 races. However, he’s proven he’s not lost his touch at closing out races and will be a threat in the postseason, given the number of 1.5-mile tracks in the next 10 races and the fact he’s won on three of them already.
