    Kevin Harvick lined up next to his Richard Childress Racing teammate for a two-lap sprint to the finish at Daytona International Speedway.

    He and Clint Bowyer didn't bother to talk strategy.

    "It was every man for himself at that point," Harvick said.

    The Sprint Cup points leader sailed to his second win of the season, leading a strong RCR contingent in a wild night of racing at Daytona. There were a record 18 leaders, 47 lead changes, a 20-car accident and numerous angry drivers when it was over.

    Harvick earned high praise from team owner Childress, who compared his driver to the late Dale Earnhardt, considered one of the best restrictor-plate racers in NASCAR history. Harvick also won at Talladega in April, and finished seventh in the season-opening Daytona 500.
