GOING BACK TO CALI……. Hello everyone,
I just wanted to touch base with you guys
this week and say thanks for all your support during Speedweeks in Daytona.
Even though I wish I was racing in the Bud Shootout, it was still neat to be
a special guest of FOX and commentate during the race. I still like racing
more than the broadcast booth, and maybe I’ll revisit that after my racing
career is over, but that is going to be a long time from now.
Throughout the two weeks I saw fans
supporting me by wearing the new Kevin Harvick Fan Club shirts around the
track. The shirts look really good and I hope everyone is enjoying them. As
for last Sunday’s race, it was a wild one to watch from my vantage point. I
saw a few wrecks happen right in front of me, including sitting in the middle
of some intense three and four wide racing, which is the reason I felt
relieved to escape with a 14th-place finish.
I’m pretty excited about this week. On Thursday, I head to one of Shell’s
largest refineries in Louisiana for an appearance, before heading to
California. I like visiting my “home” state of California and grabbing a bite
at my favorite fast food restaurant, Del Taco. During the trip out west I try
and make time to see friends and family, since I don’t get to visit much
during the season. And last, but not least, I am looking forward to the race
on Sunday to get another shot at redemption.
As most of you can recall, last year I was
sitting in second place with four laps to go, when my left-front tire went
flat, causing my No. 29 Shell-Pennzoil Chevrolet to finish 17th. With all the
testing we had earlier this year at the California Speedway, our team will be
ready this weekend and we hope the outcome will be a lot better then last
year.
On another note, I’ll be behind the wheel of
the No. 33 RoadLoans.com Chevy for KHI in the Nationwide Series race on
Saturday. Hopefully I can start the weekend off on the right foot with a
solid finish and maybe even a win!!
Thanks again everyone and have a great week.
Kevin
