No. 5 Kevin Harvick

| | Comments (0) |

Kevin Harvick had four straight top-10 finishes in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races. Then followed that with four straight outside the top 10.
His worst finish came at Talladega a couple weeks ago when he finished 24th. He bounced back last week, finisihing eighth at Richmond International Raceway, his first top 10 in more than a month.
Next is Darlington, a track that has yet to produce a win for Harvick, and a track that has produced only four top 10s in 11 career Cup races.
"When we avoid trouble, we always run in the top 10," said Harvick, driver of the No. 29 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing. "However, if we get into the wall or struggle mechanically, then we never seem to be able to fight our way back. The one thing I have seen this year is that my team is willing to fight back and get the best finish we can. Hopefully, we can stay out of trouble and run up front all night long. That's what championship teams do week-in and week-out."
For the Cup race at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina, Harvick's team is bringing the car that finished second at Bristol Motor Speedway in March. It also finished seventh at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
