DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Kevin Harvick won the first race of Speedweeks, dominating the final two segments of the exhibition Sprint Unlimited in the debut of NASCAR’s new Gen-6 car.

“I’m glad we got Speedweeks started off the right way,” said Harvick, who won Saturday night’s non-points race at Daytona International Speedway for the third time in five years.

But with only 19 cars in the field at the start of the race – and that was whittled down to 12 after an early accident – there wasn’t a great feel for what the Feb. 24 season-opening Daytona 500 will look like with a full 43-car field.
