Not a bad start for Kevin, the win Saturday night at Darlington, S.C. was his second of the new season. He is the first driver to win #2, and in a year winning matters most he is leading the way. In the crazy off season he joined the Stewart-Haas racing team. He has been a long time friend of Tony and decided to team up with him. He was able to bring his sponsors which was a major plus for everyone involved.
Harvick had to be wondering if it was a smart move to leave Childress Racing after 13 successful years of service. He kept pushing forward, even after the broken wheel hub at Las Vegas and the fiery crash due to a cut oil line at Bristol; the tire issues at Fontana, a broken chain at Martinsville or the blown engine at Texas. Entering Darlington, Harvick had finished 36th or worse in four of five races, each time with a car capable of winning.
Kevin broke through in a big way with his victory Saturday night in the Southern 500. NASCAR will take their traditonal Easter weekend off and resume on Saturday April 26. It will be a night race at Richmond, VA. Video highlights are on my Stewart-Haas page.
