NASCAR is back! The Real Heroes 400 from Darlington

By: Charles Bradley

Stay tuned to Motorsport.com for all the reaction, but that'll do it for today's live text. See ya next time!
Pointing at the empty stands, Harvick says: "It is weird, because there is nobody up there"
Harvick pays tribute to the healthcare workers, and in particular his buddy Josh, whose name is on his car today. How cool is that?
Harvick: "I just want to thank everyone from NASCAR and all the teams. I didn't think it would be different, but we won the race and it's dead silent out here. We miss the fans."
Unofficial order: Harvick, Bowman, Ku Busch, Elliott, Hamlin, Truex, Reddick (top rookie), Jones, Nemecheck, Kenseth (top 10 on comeback).
Harvick performs some nice donuts at the end of the pitlane. And brings it back to the flag stand.
Apart from one duff pitstop, that was a great day for the #4 team. A fine victory.
Harvick wins the Real Heroes 400, NASCAR's first race back for 10 weeks following the coronavirus hiatus. Bowman is second, ahead of Kurt Busch, Elliott and Hamlin.
Keselowski tumbles to 13th, not a great finish to his race when he led 81 laps earlier.
Newman runs into the back of Bowyer, who had to slow down in the middle of the corner.
Jones is struggling with a vibration, and gives up sixth to Truex.
10 to go, is there any more drama from this incident-packed day?
Harvick looks like he's got this, but remember how much Bowman's pace fell off early on, might that happen to Kevin? He looks stout at this point.
Kenseth makes the top 10, passing Keselowski with 20 to go.
Reddick pulls a great move on Kyle Busch. Impressive stuff from the rookie.
Kyle Busch is up to seventh. Reddick and John Hunter Nemecheck next up. Keselowski down to 10th.
It's Harvick, Bowman, Kurt Busch, Elliott, Jones and Hamlin.
Wow, what a great sequence of laps, Harvick managed to hold on, but only by almost scraping the wall off Turn 4.
Green, green, green, with 34 to go! Harvick and Bowman charge to Turn 1...
Who's ready for a sprint to the finish to crown the winner of the Real Heroes 400? Will it stay green until the end, or...
And the race off pit lane is won by... Harvick from Bowman and Elliott.
