HARVICK: Looking for Victory Lane (Again) at HMS
TruckSeries.com Report Printer Version 

  Discuss



BACK TO VICTORY LANE: Last week at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR), Kevin Harvick driver of the No. 2 Camping World Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI) Silverado went back to victory lane for the first time in 2008, recording his third-career Truck Series victory.

This win put KHI in the record books by becoming the first team in Truck Series history to win three straight races with three different drivers.
Ryan Newman captured a win in the No. 2 at Atlanta Motor Speedway three weeks ago, while Ron Hornaday took KHI's No. 33 to Victory Lane at Texas.

STELLER STATS: According to NASCAR's loop data statistic, driver's rating, which incorporates many elements into its ratings system, Harvick ranks second behind Johnny Benson with a rating of 111.7.

KHI REPEAT: Harvick's KHI teammate Ron Hornaday will try to make history this weekend in Homestead. Hornaday aims to win his record-breaking fourth Truck Series championship and become the first driver in series history to win back-to-back titles.

Kevin Harvick Quotes:
WHY IS HOMESTEAD-MIAMI SPEEDWAY ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE TRACKS?
"Miami is one of those race tracks that you don't know when it is going to stop aging. Every time we go there it loses a little grip, which is a good thing. Miami is one of my favorite race tracks since they repaved it. Just for the fact that you can move around and it is kind of hard to get a hold of. There are a lot of different places where you can make your car/truck work. For me it has been a lot of fun to race."

WHAT ARE YOUR EMOTIONS DRIVING YOUR OWN TRUCK AGAIN THIS WEEK AT HOMESTEAD AFTER YOUR WIN LAST WEEK IN PHOENIX?
"I am looking forward to going to Homestead this week and racing in the NASCAR Truck Series again. The win at Phoenix last week was just another real boost for this team. It was nice to finally get a win in the truck after watching Ryan and Ron go out and win. Homestead is a pretty good track for me and I have had some great runs there in the Nationwide Series and Nextel Cup Series.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE TRUCK YOU WILL BE DRIVING THIS WEEKEND?
"I will be driving a newly rebuilt truck again this week, just like the one we drove last week on our way to my first Truck Series win this season. Everybody at the shop puts a lot of effort into this truck program for us, so I am confident that this truck will be good when we unload it."

AS AN OWNER IN THE TRUCK SERIES (Harvick owns the No. 33 and No. 2 trucks) HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE No. 33 KHI TRUCK'S CHANCES TO WIN A BACK TO BACK TITLE?
"I feel good about their chances. The No. 33 team has worked hard all year long. It seems this entire season the battle between Hornaday and Benson has been up and down. One week one does well and the other does badly and then the other will do badly and the other will do well.
Luckily, last weekend they synchronized their bad nights. I told Hornaday that there's got to be a lot easier way to shave three points off the lead than that. From the drivers seat watching your truck wreck that's racing for a championship on lap one and the other truck still running is not good. Luckily it worked out the way that it did. Things happen. That's why those guys, I can speak for Ron for sure, that's why he is where he is because he races hard every lap and really lays it all out there. It's going to come down to the last lap this weekend; hopefully we will be the one's celebrating at the end."

CHASSIS HISTORY: The No. 2 ACL team will bring truck 028 to Homestead-Miami Speedway. Chassis 028 saw track time earlier this season at Kentucky Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway (LVMS). Chassis 028 was completely rebuilt following a hard crash at LVMS. This truck has a new style body that has produced promising aerodynamic numbers. The team has nicknamed this chassis "the rocket ship" due to its lightning-quick lap times. Chassis 028 has led each practice session that it has participated in this season.
