Denny Hamlin crashed just seven laps short of victory, allowing Kevin Harvick to beat Matt Kenseth off the final restart and pull away at the Brickyard 400.

“We knew he was really close on tires so Rodney said on the radio to keep the pressure on him,” Harvick said. “It’s the Brickyard, this is what I grew up wanting to do so to come here and win for the third time is something I couldn’t have dreamed up.”

NASCAR’s weather problems continued, too, with the start delayed 55 minutes because of lightning strikes within an eight-mile radius of the track. But NASCAR officials said Ryan Blaney’s tire changer, Zachary Price, was transported to a hospital after getting pinned between Blaney’s car and another. Price appeared to be smiling as he was placed on a stretcher before he was taken away in an ambulance.

Johnson’s absence ended the longest active streak of consecutive starts at 663 — fifth overall — and perhaps his quest to join Jeff Gordon and former Formula One star Michael Schumacher as the only five-time winners at Indy. The 44-year-old Johnson said he would be watching from his home in Aspen, Colorado.“I didn’t know if I got the gentleman on the No. 12 or not,” Allgaier said.
