Kevin Harvick Presented With Champions' Row Banners at PIR
Before taking his qualifying lap at PIR for Saturday night's SUBWAY Fresh Fit 500™, Kevin Harvick visited PIR's Midway to unveil the two new three-story banners that will carry his name and image for the next year to celebrate his two NASCAR NEXTEL Cup wins on the one-mile oval in 2006.
Harvick was joined by his wife, Delana, and PIR President Bryan R. Sperber as banners celebrating his late heroics in April's SUBWAY Fresh 500™ and his dominating performance in November's Checker Auto Parts 500 Presented by Pennzoil were shown off for the first time.
Sperber presented Harvick with a frame that showcased mini-replicas of each of the 31-year-old driver's championship banners. Harvick will enter Saturday's SUBWAY Fresh Fit 500™ looking to become the first driver in PIR's NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series history to win three races. A win would also make Harvick the first driver since Jack Sprague (NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series; 1996-97) to win three consecutive races in any of NASCAR's three premier series at PIR.
If history is any indication, Harvick could be back on PIR's Midway again in 2008, unfurling his third consecutive championship flag.
