KEVIN HARVICK LOCKS INTO ‘ELIMINATOR’ ROUND WITH WIN AT CHARLOTTE
TEAM CHEVY TAKES 1-2-3 FINISH
CONCORD, N.C. – October 11, 2014 – Kevin Harvick, driver of the No. 4 Budweiser Chevrolet SS, secured a spot in the third round of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup with his win in the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the fifth race in the 10-race run for the series title. It was Harvick’s third win of the 2014 season, and 16th top-10 finish thus far this season, and it was the 16th win for the Chevrolet SS.
“We came here and tested thinking that this was going to be the hardest round to get through because of Talladega,” said Harvick. “There’s so much that you can’t control there. We wanted to try to control the things that we could control. We felt like Kansas and here (Charlotte) were playing to our strengths; and just see where it fell after that once we get to the next round. So I’m really proud of everybody at SHR. I’m really proud of all my guys on this team. I just can’t thank everybody enough.”

Vickers wins first Sprint Cup Series race since 2009 health scare
LOUDON, N.H. (July 14, 2013) – Nothing was going to stop Tony Stewart from pulling away from the field on restarts. Nothing, except a dry gas tank. And it was Brian Vickers who took advantage of Stewart’s bad luck, zipping by him on the Magic Mile backstretch with one lap to go and holding on to win the Camping World RV Sales 301 – Vickers’ third NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory in 271 career starts.
“Hard to put into words,” said Vickers – a part-time driver for Michael Waltrip Racing – who celebrated his moment sharing high-fives to fans along the frontstretch. “This is one of the most special events of my life.
