He was facing going down another lap, the car was falling apart and there more happy events to take in at the end of this race.
Namely, cheering on his driver of the #4 Budweiser Chevy, Kevin Harvick. If Kevin could win, it’s another Championship for Stewart-Haas Racing. But it’s Kevin’s first Championship in the Sprint Cup Series. Continue reading
