Harvick dodges crash and sets pace

Kevin Harvick dodged a multi-car accident to set the fastest time in NASCAR's first practice session of the year at Daytona. The Sprint Cup season officially began on Friday evening with two sessions for the drivers involved in Saturday night's Sprint Unlimited non-championship race. Within minutes of the green flag, contact between Matt Kenseth's Joe Gibbs Toyota and Kurt Busch's Furniture Row Chevrolet triggered a five-car pile-up.
