MARCH 8, 2015
KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 4 JIMMY JOHN’S/BUDWEISER CHEVROLET SS – RACE WINNER:
YOU’VE EXTENDED A STREAK OF NOW SIX RACES OF EITHER FIRST OR SECOND. THIS IS YOUR FIRST WIN AT LAS VEGAS. WHAT A DAY
“It’s so cool to win here in Las Vegas and start this West Coast swing off this way is pretty awesome. Just to be in front of all these fans I’ve raced in front of since about the mid-‘90’s. It’s pretty special to win here. I’ve got to thank Jimmy John’s, Budweiser, Chevrolet, and everybody on this car that makes it go around; and all these guys and everyone at Stewart-Haas for what they do.”
DID YOU FEEL A TIRE WAS GOING DOWN OR A VIBRATION IN THE LAST 20 LAPS?
“I don’t know, but it wasn’t right. Luckily we were able to hang-on to it and had a good enough lead to where we could pace ourselves and be able to keep the lead, I guess. I just want to thank all the fans. What a great crowd today and I thank them for everything they do for our series.
TALK ABOUT YOUR LAST RUN:
“It got to be a handful there at the end. For whatever reason we got really, really loose the last run. Tires started vibrating and we were just kind of hanging on. Glad the race is over at that particular point for our own good. Everybody on our Jimmy Johns/Budweiser Chevrolet has done a great job. Everybody at Stewart-Haas Racing I want to thank them for everything that they do.”
THREE WINS IN THE LAST SIX RACES, IS THERE ANY STOPPING THIS TEAM?
“We just have to keep our heads down and keep doing everything that we’ve been doing. This isn’t a bunch of guys that are just going to go out and brag We’re going to race every week like we have never won a race before. That’s the kind of determination that you need when you are going to do this stuff.”
AS THE REIGNING CHAMPION, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO LOCK YOURSELF INTO THIS YEAR’S CHASE?
“It feels pretty good. I’m pretty excited about it. This whole Chase thing, there is a lot of strategy to get into. The best strategy is to go out and win races. I’m just really proud of everybody on our team.”
