I am not sure how this will translate over in myspace but I hope to make this the official colors of NASCAR stud driver, Kevin Harvick. Sign this man up for motivation speakings. Twice in the last week he has a early mishap that last week made him at best 37th and this week 4th place.
Last week, driver Kurt Busch hit his car at the Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis. It caused enough damage to his care to make him 15 laps off the pace, eventually it got 14. The rest of the race he was in the lower 40's or upper 30's. He spend most of the race at 37th. He did not give up, he got what they called a "lucky dog" when a yellow flag came out and the highest driver a lap off gets back on the lead lap. This happened to Kevin. Sadly, he was still 14 laps behind. The damage to his car could have him and his crew call it a day. He did not give in and raced the best he could. I can only guess that with all the pressure off, he and the crew just had some fun racing and bugging the others. LOL
Forward to today (Sunday Aug. 3rd). The first lap of the Pocono 500 in Pennsylvania he gets hit by accident by Joe Nemechek. From what I could tell he didn't pit or it was really short and he was somehow still on the lead lap. Going from 21st to 38th place. All this effects the points season series where he fell out of the top 12 last week and dropped to 14th right away. Things looked grim, this is something that could ruin a run for the chase for the title. The top 12 driver gets the chance for it in September-October. After yellow flags, red flag for rain, and a long hot day, Mr. Harvick took a disasterous start and wound up finishing fourth place. FOURTH PLACE.
He and the crew did not give up. He even jumped up to 11th in the season points race. Another time he could have wrote it off. The way he looked at the end, if the race was another 20 laps, who knows? He could have caught the days champion, Carl Edwards and that hot dogging flip of his.
What confirmed my being a fan was the past two weeks, he could have wrote off the whole thing. You never saw it in his driving, his persona and his crew. He still has alot of work to do. He can VERY EASILY plummet the next week and the chase for the title would be over. I hope not. He has been brilliant though not in the winner circle since last year's Daytona 500 in February. How I would love to soon get a new Harvick winner circle picture on my myspace pages.
Moral to the story, NEVER GIVE UP AND KEEP GOING FORWARD.
