This season is shaping up to be one of the best for longtime team owner Richard Childress.
Kevin Harvick has led the points standings for much of the season, but he’s been overlooked by many fans and media as a true NASCAR title favorite.
Yesterday, Kevin Harvick and Richard Childress announced that Budweiser will the primary sponsor for RCR’s flagship No. 29 through 2013.
The Sprint Cup boys spent the whole day running from the top to the bottom of Michigan International Speedway… and everywhere in between.
Weird to say, right, that Kevin Harvick leading the points by 300 wasn’t a legitimate NASCAR title contender until his third win of 2010?
Richard Childress, NASCAR team owner, pointed out, “Somebody’s got to beat Jimmie [Johnson] this year, and it might as well be RCR.”
Kevin Harvick pushed Denny Hamlin around Tony Stewart after the final restart, then on lap 189 passed the No. 11 car and drove off into the Michigan sunset.
This week, here’s a sneak peek at what they all were thinking following the CARFAX 400 at Michigan International Speedway.
