No. 3 Kevin Harvick

| | Comments (0) |

Kevin Harvick keeps getting better. He finished third two weeks ago at Bristol Motor Speedway, his fourth straight top 10 finish of the year since coming in 13th in the Daytona 500.
It was also his third straight top five, posting a fourth place at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and third at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
But Harvick said he thought Bristol was a race he should have won. He made a mistake late in the race, tried to pass Tony Stewart and ended up hitting him instead. Harvick then proceeded to complain about having to answer ignorant questions about hitting Stewart before taking responsibility for losing the race.
"Well, I mean, it was mine to lose at that point, and I lost it," said Harvick, driver of the No. 29 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing. "You know, I got up under there with three or four laps to go, however many laps there was to go. It's just time to go. I clipped the apron, you know, just lost the thing. I mean, it's not like -- if I'd have had it to do over again, I wouldn't want to spin out.
"But, you know, it's just one of those deals where I was just trying to get all I could and just got a little too far."
Harvick is the middle of a log jam for second place in the Cup standings. He trails second-place Greg Biffle by three points and has only a four-point lead over fourth-place Jeff Burton, his teammate at RCR.
