The soon-to-be retired Kevin Harvick is aiming to snap his 2023 winless streak with one final trip to victory lane.
The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has had a more-than-respectable year with six top-5s and 13 top-10s. He appeared to have added one more of those Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway asHarvick's second-place finish, though, was changed to 38th after NASCAR found that not all his windshield fasteners were secure. The team does have an option to appeal, but what won't change is that he still seeks a trophy in his final season.
Whether it was race strategy or another unfortunate circumstance, Harvick has had 12 races in which he has led laps but hasn't won. He also has had nine finishes outside the top 20. "I race because of the fact that I like what I do. And I like the people that I'm around. So being around the people is really what I enjoy the most and I enjoy seeing them win and be happy."
"We had this exact conversation at the beginning of last year — there's just going to be some weekends where you just totally miss it and look like a complete buffoon. And that's what we did [at Bristol]. Two weeks before that [at Darlington], we were the best car.""You have to be OK with knowing that there's going to be some days when you go out there and run five laps down," Harvick said.
What comes with the whole picture this year is that every week, fans and track personnel thank Harvick for his 24-year Cup racing career. He is being celebrated everywhere he goes."It's interesting when you get to a point of having to answer that question, because it's just been such a weird year," Harvick said."Win or lose you, you halfway get celebrated on a weekend. So it's a little bit strange.
