"I hate that [Busch] wasn't able to hold on for the win there,'' said defending series champion Harvick, who leads Joey Logano by 28 points in the overall standings. "I would have loved to see those guys get their first win." Busch and Harvick made the most of their superior Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolets, and they likely would have cruised to a 1-2 finish before the first late caution led to another chapter in the thrilling races that have recently characterized the well-aged asphalt at Fontana. Team owner Roger Penske praised Wolfe's decisive call on the tires as "perfect." Penske's team hadn't won a NASCAR race since 2002 on the track he built one hour east of Los Angeles two decades I knew [Kevin Harvick] and [Kurt Busch] had been the class of the weekend and deserved to win on speed. Maybe we kind of stole one today"Tires are worth a lot here," Wolfe said. "And once you put one lap or one heat cycle on them, you're pretty much looking to put new tires on and pick up quite a bit of grip."
