Kevin Harvick can sit again and calm down for essentially the most half this NASCAR season. From the Fox sales space, he’s calling races, however not being behind the wheel lets him see it somewhat otherwise now.
On the brand new episode of his Blissful Hour podcast, Harvick talked, as he often does, about his favorites for the upcoming weekend.
“I’m simply going to go together with the previous boring decide, I believe I’m going to go together with the man that received there final time that I believe had a shot to win it this week [at Phoenix] in Denny Hamlin,” Harvick mentioned. “I believe he’s obtained that canine in him nonetheless.
“So, I believe if Denny Hamlin doesn’t win … I believe one of many RFK vehicles will hopefully be up entrance. I believe they each ran very well there final yr, I believe the 17 and the 6, Brad had some hassle and ended up within the backstretch wall, however I believe each of these vehicles will run good as effectively.”
Operating with Denny Hamlin once more this week, Kevin Harvick hopes the JGR driver will get it going. Hamlin has had a little bit of a difficulty ending races. This Sunday, he’ll try to run a whole race and are available out on prime at Bristol simply as he did within the fall.
Kevin Harvick is fearful about Group Penske driver
Going into this weekend there are a couple of drivers who may use a stable day. The excessive banks of Bristol are unpredictable and supply drivers with continuous motion as they drive in shut quarters for all 500 laps of the race.
Kevin Harvick has been watching this season and he is aware of who has struggled and who’s doing effectively to start out the yr. Trying on the first 4 weeks of the season, Harvick has his eyes on one driver, and never for good causes.
Joey Logano has two DNFs and three finishes of P28 or worse this season. Dangerous luck, poor choices, and extra have plagued Logano to start the yr. He had one good race at Las Vegas. Nevertheless, that wasn’t a terrific race as he completed P9.
That has Kevin Harvick involved.
“I’m most involved in regards to the No. 22, Joey Logano,” Harvick said. “That’s that’s my greatest concern proper now. As a result of they have been good at Daytona. Managed the race. However man, giving your self simply a possibility to win at Talladega and Daytona, that’s actually the one two tremendous — these are the one two tremendous speedways we’ve got left earlier than the playoffs. I imply, is that actually their solely likelihood to win at this level? I don’t know.”
Ought to Kevin Harvick be fearful about Logano? It does really feel like issues have fallen off the rails, and Logano himself admitted he’s had a tough begin to the yr, maybe the worst begin of his profession.
