, April 23 (UPI) -- Kevin Harvick was Saturday night's winner of the Subway Fresh 500 Nextel Cup event at the Phoenix (Az.) International Raceway.
His No.25 Chevrolet crossed the finish line well ahead of Tony Stewart and was worth $228,486.
"We just came on at the right time," Harvick said. "We didn't have the best car, but we had the best car when it counted."
Stewart won $211,536 as the runner-up. After winning the Bashas' Supermarkets 200 Busch race on Friday night, Harvick enjoyed a clean sweep this weekend. It gave him his first win of the season and sixth of his Nextel Cup career.
Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards and Clint Bowyer completed the top-five, with Kasey Kahne, Jimmie Johnson, Bobby Labonte, Jeff Burton and Jeff Gordon finishing in spots 6-10.
Kenseth's third-place finish gives the 2003 Nextel Cup Series champion the points lead by nine over Johnson (1,218-1,209).
