Harvick tests at North Wilkesboro:

  • from a Team Chevy press conference transcript of #29-Kevin Harvick:
    YOU’VE BEEN HANGING ON TO THAT POINT LEAD AND MUST BE ANXIOUS TO GET INTO VICTORY LANE
    “Actually it’s been a decent start to the year, for sure. Obviously we’ve had a couple of chances to win and haven’t quite gotten that done, but the guys are going a great job. We had a long week of testing. We spent a couple of days at Charlotte and one day at North Wilkesboro so hopefully we’re ready to go.”
    ON NORTH WILKESBORO, WHAT DOES THE SURFACE LOOK LIKE? WERE YOU THE ONLY CUP DRIVER THERE? WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?
    “The surface is fine. They’ve done a really good job of cleaning it up. They have a lot still left to do with some of the facility. Obviously they’re working on the surface to fix some of the cracks and things, but we were one of the first ones there just trying to feel out exactly what it would be useful for and things like that. But it still wears the tires out and still drives around like I guess it used to. That was the first time I’d ever been there. But they’ve done a really good job of cleaning everything up and it looks like any other race track.”
