Kevin Harvick Press Conference

KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 29 BUDWEISER CHEVROLET, met with members of the media at NASCAR Daytona Media day and discussed the 10-year anniversary of KHI, the new points system, the Budweiser Shootout and much more. Full transcript:

WITH IT BEING THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF KEVIN HARVICK, INC. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE BEGINNINGS AND HOW MUCH SUCCESS YOU’VE HAD? “We’ve been fortunate to have the company evolve. It really wasn’t ever intended to be anything other than just to go out and have fun and try to win a truck race. When (Tony) Stewart came along and wanted to run the Nationwide race it really evolved into what it is today. So it’s probably mostly his fault that it evolved into what it is today. Its fun and I really enjoy the part of trying to put the people together and the sponsorship and everything that goes with that to make it all go around. So it’s become kind of its own animal I guess you can say as it evolves into what it is today. We try to do everything we can do. We don’t do it to make money or anything like that, we just do it to be a part of the sport and learn what we need to do so that one day when I’m done we’ll have the option of having hopefully a company that’s fully paid for and competitive if we want to stay in the sport.”
