Harvick on qualifying at New Hampshire Motor Speedway:

You just missed it by a little bit, but you still have a smile on your face. “Those were huge improvements for our Budweiser team from what we had in practice, and feel like it gave us a good direction for race trim. I’m just really proud of everybody on our Budweiser team. And I’m proud to be driving the Designate a Driver car this weekend and sending a great message to everybody to drink responsibly. Have a good time, but have a plan to drink responsibly as you go out. I’m excited about a good qualifying effort. That will make our day a lot easier to start with anyway, on Sunday.”
