Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI), announced today the signing of 24-year-old West Sacramento, Calif., native Burney Lamar. KHI will field Lamar in five West Series events and four Truck Series events. Harvick believes the West Series gives young drivers the opportunity to drive heavier stock cars that handle similar to the Busch cars, all while competing on NASCARs elite division tracks and against strong competition. Harvick explains how the West Series team came about, We already had two Busch cars at the shop that we ran in 2004. We are building all new cars for the #33 team in 2005, so we wanted to put something together with the two existing cars we already had. The cars are practically brand new and will make great race cars for the West Series.” Currently KHI fields two full-time teams in NASCARs Truck and Busch Series. The #6 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Ron Hornaday in the Truck Series, and the #33 Outdoor Channel Chevrolet Monte Carlo driven by Tony Raines and Tony Stewart in the Busch Series.(Keystone Marketing PR)(1-28-2005)
