Report: Kevin Harvick Asks for Release

People who type in all caps have a inferiority complex. What are you compensating for little kevi?

you know it

Stewart/Haas Racing will continue recieving support in 2010 and well beyond. Basically S/H Racing is another Hendricks operation anyway, just without it being under the 4 car Hendricks umbrella. Why else would a winning Hendricks crewchief go over to a new operation if he still wasn't technically a H.M.S. employee? Plus Gene Haas is one of Rick Hendricks best friends. Since the Haas team first came into NASCAR, H.M.S. has supplied the engines, and technical advice to the team. Essentially just making it a research and development team, but not now. Kevin Harvick would be a welcome addition to S/H racing, and all signs point to him going. Ryan, and Tony both have been running Delana's Nationwide car some, but I think the engines came from RCR/EGR shop. Now if Harvick does go to S/H, Ricks wife wouldn't have to be co owner with Dale Jr. on Brad Keselowski's Cup car next year. It will be Delana Harvick.

Yes, thank you for that. My point was that it is one thing to help a team until it is fully up to speed. It is another once that team no longer needs your help. It would be like supporting your children when they grow up and start making more money than you. Now that SHR is leading the points, and able to grow, how much longer is Rick really going give them? Maybe I am just missing it.

Amen JFLU1961! You said it best!

HEY JUDGE, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU,but for FAST EDDY right below you post 21.Thanks for the button favor.
HERE WE GO;
SOME of those people WHO TYPE IN SMALL CAPS ONLY, have a growing BODY PARTS complex RIGHT THERE and they are forced to the EXTENSE TABLET TERAPHY and the PUMPING DEVICE TO ENLARGE THEIR TOOL.
How did you like that FAST EDDIE??????????.

Actually Billy I did notice. I am just not sure we were watching the same race. I have been watching what Jr has done since the crew chief change VERY closely so I can make an intelligent comment on the issue. For the most part, I am still observing but here is what I have seen so far.
I am one of those people that thinks Jr is a great guy, just not a GREAT driver. I have often laughed at all the excuses SOME fans make for him, the latest blaming the crew chief I have thought was the most ridiculous, as well as laughing at the ones that say he sucks. That being said, Jr started the race in 13th and spent almost the entire race within 5 positions of that place. He was almost never in 20th or worse. He finished in 15th. Saying he was in "20th or so" is not a true representation of the race.
If you want to give an arguement it was not the crew chief for his failures here is one that holds water. Look at the Nascar Statistics page. It lists the top 25 points earners for the past 6 races. That means starting at ZERO 6 races ago and adding the points only for the past 6 races. Jr is 22nd in that category. He was 19th for the year when they made the change. There has been virtually no change in what that team was doing earlier in finishing positions.
My opinion, for what it is worth, is that the whole team is simply having a slump. I feel much of it has to do with Jr's psyche. This very issue was confirmed by the latest interview with Tony Eury Jr on the issue of his departure.
He is certainly a better driver than his current 21st points position puts him in. maybe he needs to talk to whomever helped Tony Stewart with his anger problem. But since the media is not currently hounding him asking, "when are you going to win a race?" the problem may resolve itself.
