UPDATE: Kevin Harvicks modern era streak of completing 81 races in a row ended at California, but Harvick tells PRNs Garagepass it didn’t have to happen. Harvick said, “The bad thing about the DNF streak is that the car was actually functional to go back on the racetrack. I thought the motor had blown up…I hit the fence and the oil was running across the racetrack and the oil streak all the way up to the wall…I thought the car had blown up. So, I left and the spotter left and they called and said hey were ready to go back out with about 15 laps to go…and (chuckles) I wasn’t there…thats the way it ended. The DNF streak is great but in the end it would be nice to have a win streak.”(PRN’s Garage Pass Radio Show)(3-5-2009)
