Kevin Harvick’s team makes pit crew change for championship race

Kevin Harvick‘s pit crew will have a new rear tire changer for Sunday’s championship race in Miami at 3 p.m. ET, NBC Sports has confirmed.

Chris McMullen, who has been Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Aric Almirola‘s rear tire changer all season, will switch over to Harvick’s team in the same role this coming weekend. The move was made since Almirola was eliminated from title contention last weekend at Phoenix.

Michael Johnson goes from being the rear tire changer on Harvick’s team to Almirola’s team. Johnson has been Harvick’s rear tire changer since the Southern 500, replacing Daniel Smith, who has been out because of health issues.
