With Kevin Harvick's penalty, there are some changes in the secondary point standings, but the primary one more or less stays the same. Harvick was already 16th in the
standings before the penalty. He's still there, but 145 points behind Reddick instead of 45.
In the other points standings (Non-Playoff points, Old School and WC), Harvick drops out of the top 16. He would be 18th in Non-Playoff points, 17th in WC points and
21st in Old School points. The Old School drop-off was the greatest as Harvick was eighth in those standings before the penalty.
