Attention all Harvick Haters.....

Be afraid, be VERY afraid.

He is bringing the heat. Chassis 237 will be his primary car this weekend. According to my notes (and Jayski's too, apparently) 237 is the 2010 Bud Shootout and 2010 Arron's 499 winning car.

I also belive (but cannot prove, I lost most of those notes in my last hard drive failure) that this is the chassis that won the 2009 Bud Shootout, as well as finishing P2 in the 2009 Daytona 500 (his primary car for that race was wrecked in happy hour if you recall)...

I'm sure the Coke Zero 400 winning car, chassis 295, is probably on the truck as the back up if needed....

Why should they be scared? He was only 31st in first Practice and he didn't even run second practice :eek: He's the one who must be scared. ;) :s pin:

I thought Michael Waltrip would drop back and help Hamlin... just to help Toyota's chances of getting a championship. Well, doesn't matter now since the field is about to swallow Hamlin up.

[harvick#1]

I hope this staying in the back comes and bites Johnson in the ass.

really pathetic racing when drivers do this, Gordon doing the same thing, and it already bit Hamlin :D

[Alexamateo]

Bad Luck for Harvick getting in to Ambrose, but it appears he's still running good enought to get to the front.

wow

For those who said "why be afraid of Harvick"...well he finished second with a tore up race car.

The lad knows how to do this plate racing stuff...
