#29-Kevin Harvick is one of the biggest-name drivers who is not signed up for 2007. Harvick says his contract with Childress is up at the end of the 2006 season – the same as Busch and Jamie McMurray. Harvick says he wants to see some improvements in the Childress camp before he resumes contract renegotiations with Childress. Harvick has General Motors ties through Childress and through his own Busch and Truck programs, and those GM sponsorships are also at stake [not returning to his Truck Series team]. “Richard and I have a deal and I will fulfill that, and hopefully into the future, so there’s no point in talking about doing anything different, because this is what I’m doing,” Harvick said. However Harvick has not been pleased with his performance this season and says he wants to see improvements before he signs any new contract with Childress: “It’s not that I’m unhappy, I just want to see some improvements. I want to see what all these changes do. I don’t want to get into a situation where we make changes and it gets worse.”(Winston Salem Journal)(8-15-2005)
