News and Notes
May 7
This week: Harvick is looking for his first victory at Darlington, where he has two top-five finishes and four top-10s in 11 starts. He was 17th last year. "Darlington's tough, but I like it," Harvick said. "It's a very narrow, fast race track that has a lot of history and is a very prestigious race to win. It's one of those places where I'd like to win a Sprint Cup race. Keeping the car off the walls is a key factor when you go to Darlington. You've got to get a rhythm there and be consistent over the long runs. You have to take care of the fenders, tires and sides of the car. I think it's going to be the same old Darlington with a little more grip. It will probably be a little faster this weekend than normal. I also think with the new surface the tires won't wear out as quick."
Last week: Harvick is coming off an eighth-place finish at Richmond.
Etc.: Harvick and the No. 29 team tested on Monday and Tuesday at Lowe's Motor Speedway in preparation for the Sprint All-Star Race and the Coca-Cola 600. This was the fifth of seven tests allowed under NASCAR's 2008 testing policy. The remaining tests available to teams in NASCAR's top division will be conducted at Pocono on May 27-28 and Lowe's on Sept. 23-24.
