LOUDON, N.H. (June 28, 2009) —

“Our Copart car was really good when we unloaded during both practice sessions,” said Harvick. “But when the green-flag waved, we fought a loose condition from the start. I have to thank all the guys for their hard work and Copart for their support. We just missed it a little, but all-in-all, not a bad day.”

Starting the race fifth, Harvick moved into the third position on lap three and maintained his position until the first caution waved on lap 50. With the car a little tight in the middle of the corners, the team opted to bring Harvick down pit lane for four scuffed tires, an air-pressure adjustment and fuel. Harvick restarted fourth on lap 58.

Slipping to the sixth position by lap 68, Harvick moved back in the top five on lap 94.

The second caution of the day waved on lap 105 and Harvick quickly radioed crew chief Ernie Cope that the car was too loose at the beginning of the run. The call was made to bring Harvick down pit road from the fifth position for four fresh tires, an air-pressure adjustment to the right-side tires and fuel. With teams opting for various strategies of taking only two tires and fuel, Harvick restarted sixth on lap 110.

By lap 132, Harvick returned to the top five, running lap times comparable to the leaders. The final caution flag waved on lap 156. Short on fuel, the team brought Harvick down pit road for four tires, a final air-pressure adjustment and fuel. Again, teams chose varying strategies and Harvick restarted on lap 161 in eighth. Moving into seventh on lap 164, Harvick was able to gain two more positions on the final lap as Brian Vickers and Scott Speed made contact. Harvick finished the race fifth, collecting his seventh top-five and eighth top-10 finish at the track in nine starts.

Kyle Busch became the 23rd different winner in 23 Nationwide Series races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, followed by Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, Mike Bliss and Harvick.
