BEFORE THE RACE: QUOTES WITH DRIVER KEVIN HARVICK:

What do you like about racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway? “I like this type of track because it’s flat. I started my racing career on flat tracks out west. We’ve always had a fair amount of success here at New Hampshire. The track hasn’t changed a lot and we’ve had a lot of success here in the past, so that always makes it fun to go back to.”

What makes racing on a flat track fun? “When it comes to flat tracks like Phoenix and New Hampshire there’s a lot of braking, which makes the racing aspect a lot of fun. It has always been a very tough track to pass, so track position is very important.”

Describe one lap around New Hampshire Motor Speedway “The track is very tight, which means forward bite is always an issue. It is a track that is hard to get off the corners and pass. The straight-a-ways are very long, which helps you gain track position. Going into the corners, you use a lot of your brakes, which makes it hard to get the car stopped and turned.”

ANOTHER FIRST: When Harvick takes the green flag Saturday, it will mark his first appearance at the track in a Kevin Harvick Inc. (KHI)-owned car. With the 2008 season at its mid-point, Harvick continues to seek his first win in a KHI-owned car.

In 2007 Harvick started the Camping World RV Sales 200 presented by RVs.com from the pole, led 166 laps and scored his first win at the 1.058-mile track with Richard Childress Racing (RCR).

CONTINUING TO MAKE A PRESENCE: Following a weekend of race entitlements at The Milwaukee Mile, Camping World will again be the race sponsor for the Nationwide Series event this weekend, as well as the primary sponsor on the No. 33 KHI Chevrolet.

CHASSIS HISTORY: This will mark the third appearance this season for chassis No. 041. Previously this chassis ran at Phoenix International Raceway and most recently at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway. At Phoenix Harvick started from the fifth position before crossing the finish line fourth. He followed that run with a sixth-place start at Richmond, where he led 98 laps on his way to what appeared to be his first win in a KHI-owned car, but a late-caution and varying pit strategies led to a second-place finish.

PREVIOUS RACE RECAP: Cale Gale and the No. 33 KHI Camping World Chevrolet scored a top-15 finish at The Milwaukee Mile after starting from the 20th position. With a fast car throughout the race, Gale consistently stayed around the top-15 before gaining several positions at the end of the night, securing a 12th-place finish. This marks Gale’s second-best finish this season and his fourth race earning Rookie of the Race honors.
