KEVIN HARVICK, No. 98 Hunt Brothers Ford Mustang –VICTORY LANE INTERVIEW –

“The race track has stayed very similar to what it’s been for a number of years and I think as you look at the techniques and the things that I do in the car and they give me what I want in the car as far as the feeling it just applies here. It’s been a great race track for us. I was frustrated last year here. We didn’t leave here with the trophy on either day and that’s always our goal is to win one day. I’ve just got to thank Hunt Brothers Pizza, Fields, Haas, Ford, Jimmy John’s, Busch, Mobil 1, Morton Buildings, Textron Off Road, Ollie’s, LiftMaster, everybody who puts all this effort into this XFINITY program. Last year was our first race here together as a team and on the race track it was our second race total – Cole ran Daytona – so they’ve done a great job at Stewart-Haas Racing. I’ve got to thank Gene Haas and Joe Custer and Fred and Bill DenBeste and Biagi and everybody who works on this thing. It’s a great day.”

Austin Dillon Delivers Emotional Victory for Richard Childress Racin

  • Darrell ‘Bubba’ Wallace Jr. Finishes Second for Richard Petty Motorsports
  • Danica Patrick Crashes, Finishes 35th in Last DAYTONA 500 Appearance

 DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Feb. 18, 2018) – A historic day for the DAYTONA 500 produced an emotion-filled result that will stand tall alongside the many other epic finishes that have built the tradition of “The Great American Race.”

Twenty years after Dale Earnhardt ended a career-long drought by winning the DAYTONA 500 in the famed No. 3 Chevrolet of Richard Childress, Austin Dillon – Childress’ grandson – returned the No. 3 to Gatorade Victory Lane at Daytona International Speedway. And he did it with a last-lap, bump-and-run move that was absolutely Earnhardt-like, to boot – in the 60th running of the season-opening race for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.
