In addition to the Nationwide Series, Harvick has 11 starts in the Cup Series at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway, with two top-five and four top-10 finishes.

BEFORE THE RACE: QUOTES WITH DRIVER KEVIN HARVICK:

After leading 98 laps and finishing second at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway: “I'm proud of everybody on this team. We’re much better than we were early in the season, and especially compared to where we were a year ago. We’re a legitimate top-five car each week and we’ve been leading laps, which means if we keep running like that, good things will keep coming our way.”

CHASSIS HISTORY: The No. 33 KHI Camping World team will unload chassis No. 039 this weekend at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway for the Diamond Hill Plywood 200. This chassis has one previous start early this season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where the team unloaded the brand new chassis and Harvick wheeled it to a solid fourth-place finish.

PREVIOUS RACE RECAP: Kevin Harvick and the No. 33 KHI Nationwide Series team looked to be heading to victory lane for the first time this season and for the first time for Harvick in a KHI-owned car. Harvick was running a strong second place when on lap 143 the team pitted under caution and gained the lead exiting pit road. Leading the next 98 laps, a late caution caused team strategies to take effect. With the lead cars not pitting, Denny Hamlin pitted for fresh tires and was able to work his way through the field and pass Harvick for the lead on lap 242. Harvick went on to a solid second-place finish, gaining one position in the NASCAR Nationwide Series Owner’s Point standings.

DOUBLE DUTY: Often when you hear “double duty” in NASCAR, it’s referring to the driver’s running in two of NASCAR’s elite series in the same weekend, usually the Nationwide and Cup Series. In Richmond, this term took on a new meaning for the No. 33 team. Not only did the team pit for Harvick, but several members of the No. 33 team also helped pit Morgan Shepherd’s car. With Shepherd off the lead lap, providing no conflict with the team’s main focus, the KHI crew was able to assist on Shepherd’s car.
