Harvick's philosophy at Bristol

“Stay out of trouble and don’t wreck."
That seems like a pretty simple approach to Bristol Motor Speedway, site of Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race. But successfully achieving that goal is not always so simple.
"To win you have to be there at the end and with Bristol, like any other short track, the racing is tight and you can easily get into trouble," said Harvick, driver of the No. 29 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing. "You just have to stay clean and stay focused. As long as you are there at the end, you have a shot.”
Harvick knows something about winning at Bristol. He has one win at the track, coming in April 2005. The car his team is bringing to Bristol is the same car Harvick raced at Las Vegas Motor Speedway two weeks ago. He finished fourth with it at Vegas.
“Bristol is one of my favorite race tracks," Harvick said. "I enjoy the short track stuff and we’ve always been fortunate to run really well there. We go there with high expectations but you never know what’s going to happen. You can get caught up in a wreck in a hurry and have your day ended. You have to go to Bristol and enjoy it but know that the outcome could be the opposite of what you want it to be.”
