Kevin Harvick, scheduled to drive in this weekends Busch Series race in Mexico City [in the #21 RCR Chevy], is still sore from his crash during the Gatorade Duels at Daytona. Harvick has played in pain the past two weeks, but his bruised ribs could preclude him from driving on the Mexican road course. If so, Brandon Miller will replace him. Harvicks familiar Reeses livery will give way to a special paint scheme for this race to promote PELON PELO RICO, one of Mexicos leading brands of spicy candy. Crew chief Rick Viers emphasized that The decision (whether or not to drive) is up to Kevin, and he will not make it until after practice on Saturday. There is a chance that Brandon Miller will run the #21 during practice since its about five hours long. This will also give Miller some seat time just in case Harvick cant run the race on Sunday. Viers indicated Miller shouldnt be too hopeful though: I think in the end Harvick will tough it out.(Speed Channel)(3-2-2005)
