Kevin Harvick Suffers Major Setback at California
It's nothing new to a seasoned NASCAR fan. Your favorite driver is gunning for the lead only to have the race gods frown on him at the end. What was making for an exciting finish to the Auto Club 500 in California yesterday with Kevin Harvick taking huge strides to catch leader Matt Kenseth, turned sour quickly on the last restart of the race. Just before going green, the #29 car ofHarvick had a left front go flat. As a result, Kevin had to pit at the end, and ended the race in 17th place.
The setback dropped Kevin to 4th in the points. However, Harvick fans do not be dismayed. The resurgence of Richard Childress Racing that we saw last year seems to have carried through to this season. Currently, all 3 drivers for RCR sit in the top 6 in points. And as typical in NASCAR, successful teams are a breeding ground for even more success.
Look for Kevin to rebound next week at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Historically, Harvick hasn't faired well at the speedway type tracks. However, history doesn't take into account the recent dominance of Richard Childress Racing.
