Harvick has Strong
Fourth-Place Finish at Phoenix
PHOENIX (April 14, 2008) - Kevin
Harvick and the No. 33 Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) Camping World
Chevrolet recorded their fourth top-five Nationwide Series
finish of the season under the lights during Friday nights
Bashas Supermarkets 200 at Phoenix International Raceway. The
fourth-place finish for Harvick moved the team to third place in
the Nationwide Series Owners Point standings.
I was really pleased with the car and the performance that we
put in, said Harvick. We have to continue to work on the small
things, but overall I can see progress each and every week. The
small things will take us from running in the top five to
victory lane.
Starting the race fifth, Harvick quickly set his eyes on the top
position, moving to third place by lap 11. Under the first
caution of the evening on lap 33, the team made minor
adjustments and gained a position exiting pit road. Running in
the second position, Harvick continued to clock some of the
fastest laps of the day.
After loose lug nuts slowed the pit stop on lap 69, Harvick
restarted the race from the eighth spot, his lowest position of
the night. Quickly moving back in to the top five, Harvick again
was running with the leaders and looking to advance to the lead.
With a fast car and good,
 solid
pit stops, Harvick maintained his position in the top five, even
after several late cautions came out in the race. The race
concluded with one attempt at a green-white-checkered and
Harvick was able to end the day with a fourth-place finish for
the Camping World team.
