<p>Kevin Harvick showed why his nickname is “The Closer” on Sunday night, passing 13 cars in the final six laps to win the Ford EcoBoost 400 and more importantly, the 2014 Sprint Cup Series championship.</p><p>“Holy cow, this is unbelievable!” the Stewart-Haas Racing driver said over his radio channel as he crossed the finish line.</p><p>In the final laps of the race, Ryan Newman battled Harvick for the lead, but the No. 31 car was running on only two fresh tires, compared to Harvick’s four.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>“The race came down to a pit call, and I thought we were in big trouble there,” Harvick said about crew chief’s Rodney Childers late-race pit decision.</p><p>This is the first championship title for the 38-year-old Bakersfield, Calif. native. This is Harvick's first year as part of Stewart-Haas Racing.</p><p>For the other Chase drivers, Newman finished second, Denny Hamlin third, and Joey Logano 24th.</p><p>Here's your <strong>UNOFFICIAL</strong> finishing order:</p><figure><div class="table-responsive"><table>
