Kevin Harvick has advanced to the second round of NASCAR's playoffs with a dominating performance at Dover International Speedway.

Carl Edwards also advanced, along with Joey Logano, Ryan Newman, Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr., Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch.
The shocker was the elimination of six-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who entered fifth in the standings and was the owner of 10 wins at Dover.
