Where Will Kevin Harvick Go?
Kevin Harvick is in the final year of his contract with Richard
Childress Racing, and there is plenty of speculation as to where he’ll end up. Harvick said his relationship with Childress is good and the two have common goals on how to make things right.
He also said he won’t set a deadline to getting a deal done with RCR
during the season. “I’m not going to push that side of it,” Harvick said. “They’ll all talk and do their things behind the scenes. I just want to be the driver. I don’t want to get in a big political war with anybody.” Childress said the “door’s open to talk on down the road.
We’ll be talking some. We’ll just see what comes out of it.”
Harvick did say he didn’t think his contract situation would be a
distraction. “I’ve been there before,” Harvick said. “The best year we ever had was a contract year: 2006 was a contract year, and we won five or six races and had a chance to win the championship. We won the Nationwide
championship. That was the last contract year, so that one went pretty good.”
