Harvick can’t catch up this time at Kansas Speedway

Of all the emotions Kevin Harvick felt at Kansas Speedway, bitter disappointment probably wasn’t one of them.

Until Sunday.

Harvick was the first driver out of the Hollywood Casino 400, when a crash on lap 33 left his car too damaged to continue. Bubba Wallace and Ross Chastain slid on the track in front of Harvick causing his car to lose grip and crash into the wall.

Harvick entered the race last among the 16 drivers in the playoff field, needing a win. The playoff field is down to 12 drivers after next week’s race in Bristol, meaning a win is Harvick’s only way to continue his season.

Harvick had every reason to be confident heading into Sunday. He was in the top 10, recording three wins, five seconds, 11 top threes, 12 top fives and 19 top 10s. His carrier left the track on Sunday before the race was even halfway over.

“Yeah, it is. We were racing to win today anyway so that’s what we’ll be doing again next week,” said Harvick.

He wasn’t the only playoff driver with a Sunday to forget. Tyler Reddick was understandably all smiles on Saturday after winning his second pole at Kansas. His day ended on lap 67, when a flat rear right tire forced Reddick into the wall.

“The right rear tire blew out like we did a few times. At Fontana, I was able to save him. But here it broke at the worst possible point and we just killed the wall,” Reddick said. “It broke the control arm at the front right, so our day was over. We leave here with few points, so we will have to fight in Bristol.

Reddick started the race fifth in the points standings, which means he will have some work to do in Tennessee to solidify his position.

Kyle Busch has described his relationship with Kansas Speedway as “hate-love”. Sunday was more of the old. The two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion started the race 11th in the points standings. An early pit road penalty for crossing too many pits sent him to the back of the field. A later caveat caused by hitting the wall was the last gasp of a comeback effort.

“After we got our pit road penalty, we got back into traffic and adjusted the car,” Busch said. “It helped the car but made it looser in the long run, and I just couldn’t hold it there. I think we just took too much damage with the flat (caused by the sliding in the grass of the infield) The car wasn’t the same after that.

The good news for Busch is that he has won nine times in Bristol, including the last visit in April, on clay. It was his 60th career Cup Series victory.

He may well have to win again to keep his season alive.

“If I can have past Bristol results as Bristol results, then yeah, that shouldn’t be a problem,” Busch said. “If I have results at Bristol similar to what’s happened this year every week, then no, it’s going to be an uphill battle.”

From next Saturday in Bristol, the battles for the remaining season will only intensify.
