NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES – KOBALT 400, SUNDAY, MARCH 9, 3 P.M. ET ON FOX
Harvick Continues To Dominate Phoenix
Rolling
into Phoenix International Raceway for Sunday’s race many pundits tabbed
Kevin Harvick and his new crew chief Rodney Childers as the favorites
to capture the checkered flag. The new duo didn’t disappoint as Harvick
dominated, leading 224 of the 312 laps, including the final 62 circuits,
for his track record fifth series win. Harvick and his team head to Las
Vegas in fourth place, with their Chase ticket all but punched.
Earnhardt’s Confidence On Display Early In 2014
If
there’s something different about Dale Earnhardt Jr. this season that
might have been lacking in years past, it’s his confidence. He admits
that his strong performance during last season’s Chase has provided him
with more self-assurance through the first two races of 2014, and it
shows with a victory in the Daytona 500 and a runner-up finish at
Phoenix. Although he has never won at Las Vegas – the site of Sunday’s
KOBALT 400 – he’s finished second there twice. So, fans should expect
his confidence to continue.
Busch Brothers Return Home With Work To Do
Kurt and
Kyle Busch’s seasons have not started the way they would have liked, but
perhaps a little bit of hometown magic is just what the two Vegas
natives need. When the Busch brothers arrive in Sin City for Sunday’s
KOBALT 400, Kyle will be looking to improve upon his 14th-place position
(-29), while Kurt looks to do the same in 30th (-61). In 10 starts at
the 1.5-mile speedway, Kyle has one win and four top fives. Kurt is
winless and has three top 10s in 13 starts.
