What happened to Harvick in Qualifying at Charlotte:

#4- Kevin Harvick and #20-Matt Kenseth misjudged the amount of time remaining in the final qualifying session and did not post a time, failing to complete laps within the segment.(CMS)
AND‚ Kevin Harvick had perhaps the fastest car but didn’t have the chance to prove it in the final five-minute round. When the clock ran out in the session, Harvick was approaching the start/finish line, but because he failed to start his lap before time expired, he didn’t post a lap that counted in the session. Accordingly, Harvick, one of the favorites to win the 600, will start 11th. Matt Kenseth, who likewise failed to take the green in Round 3, starts 12th.(AutoWeek)
AND II:‚ Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth each did not get on the track before the end of the final session and will start 11th and 12th. Harvick’s crew chief, Rodney Childers, apologized on Twitter for the mistake. ‘We had a big miscommunication tonight and didn’t get @KevinHarvick off of pit road in time to run a lap in the final qualifying session,’ Childers tweeted. ‘Apologies to all of the sponsors and fans. We will make sure it doesn’t happen again.’(Motor Racing Network)(5-23-2014)
