Kevin Harvick Dominates New Hampshire!
 | ||
| Kevin Harvick is smoking hot and burning everyone in his wake. The #29 Reese's car was a ball of flame barreling around New Hampshire, and was too hot for anyone to touch! Kevin's hot streak didn't start at New Hampshire. Instead it has been growing over the past 11 races. During that time his average finish has been 5th. On top of that, Kevin has won 3 of the last 6 races, and has won the last two consecutive races. What we saw Sunday in the SYLVANIA 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway was a driver on a mission. Early on in the race, Harvick pressed two other championship contenders, Jeff Burton and Denny Hamlin, into a 3 wide situation going through turns 1 & 2 on lap 37 for the lead. The gutsy move could have had a disastrous outcome for all 3 drivers. However, after a little beating and banging reminiscent of the man who formally drove Harvick's car, Harvick came out in front with the lead. When asked about the early incident, Harvick responded, 'At this point, it's all about the championship and going for it and throwing caution to the wind'...'if you look back on it, I probably wouldn't do that again.' I seriously doubt in the remaining 9 races to decide the championship that Kevin Harvick will tone down his aggressive driving. Throwing caution to the wind is what fans love most about Kevin Harvick!
