Who knows what penalties we might see this week. Larson's car was taken to R&D for a sag in the rear window area.

After Kevin Harvick beat him for his fifth victory of the 2018 season, Martin Truex Jr. was ready to claim the Fords have an unfair advantage but Joey Logano was having none of it.

On four newer tires on a restart with nine of 267 laps remaining, Harvick rocketed past Truex with one lap to go to win Saturday night’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway.

The win is Harvick’s fifth of the season, and Ford drivers have now won seven of the season’s 12 races.

At a post-race news conference Saturday night, Truex and Logano were asked how they plan to stop Harvick when the season got to the playoffs.

Said Truex, “Well, we’re going to have to find something. We’re going to have to find some speed, and I think our cars are capable. We’ve had good speed throughout the season at points. We just haven't been as consistent as last year in finding it. 

“I feel like the box for us is a little bit smaller, and it’s pretty evident that the Fords have an unfair advantage this year, so I’ll just throw that out there," he said with a grin.

Logano, who drives a Ford, was quick to respond.

“Boy, how the tides have turned and you don’t like it.  I remember …”

Truex added, “How does it feel?”
