Kevin Harvick’s No. 4 team makes pit crew change ahead of Miami

Kevin Harvick will have a new rear tire changer on his pit crew for Sunday’s Championship 4 race at Homestead-Miami Speedway (3 p.m. ET, NBC/NBC Sports App, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

Chris McMullen, who has been the rear tire changer for Aric Almirola this season, will move from the No. 10 team to Harvick’s No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing crew this weekend. SHR made the move after Almirola was eliminated from the NASCAR Playoffs field last weekend in Phoenix.

Michael Johnson will move from Harvick’s crew to Almirola’s No. 10 pit crew. Johnson has been Harvick’s rear tire changer since replacing Daniel Smith, who has been out because of health issues since the Bojangles’ Southern 500 in September.

The change comes as Harvick will be without crew chief Rodney Childers for a second straight week. Childers was suspended for two races following an infraction after Harvick’s win in Texas. Tony Gibson has replaced Childers as Harvick’s crew chief during the suspension.
