    Kevin Harvick isn't done surprising people at Charlotte Motor Speedway or Richard Childress Racing.

    Closing a bizarre night in NASCAR's longest event, Harvick pulled away from Kasey Kahne on a restart Sunday with 11 laps left to win the Coca-Cola 600 for the second time in three seasons.

    The race was stopped nearly 30 minutes at one point when a TV camera support rope snapped and landed on the track and in the grandstands.

    There were 10 people hurt, according to Charlotte Motor Speedway. Three were taken to hospitals, and have been treated and released.

    It's Harvick's final season at RCR -- the only team he's known since filling the seat of the late Dale Earnhardt in 2001 -- before he shifts to Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014.

    Harvick's already shown with a victory at Richmond this year he wouldn't coast through the year and proved that again as he made it through the broken rope, several crashes and Kahne's dominant machine that led a race-high 156 laps.
