- Left over from last weekend, Kevin Harvick is still upset that Daytona does not have SAFER barriers around the entire 2.5-mile track, after his crash at the track during Speedweeks that occurred on the final lap of the race. In a rare moment of candid honesty, he spoke about the "missing" pieces at Phoenix.
"The tracks, for the most part, don't listen to really anything unless it's profitable for their shareholders," Harvick explained to a group of reporters Friday. "So, when you see somebody spending $400 million dollars on their track and they don't have soft walls around the inside, maybe they could spend $403 million to go ahead and finish the inside of the superspeedway there at Daytona. Yeah, I was sore all week. And, just today [Friday] I feel good enough to do what I need to do... So, it was just a weird situation. The car didn't have any brakes, any steering and the throttle was partially hung coming off the wall and going through the wet grass and then into no SAFER barrier at the end of pit road there. So, it was a hard shot. It's a little bit frustrating because it really shouldn't even be a debate. I know they have data that shows where the most frequently hit spots are but we wear all this safety equipment and do all the things that we do to these racetracks for that one freak incident to keep things from happening like [what] happened back in 2001. So, it shouldn't even be a debate. It's just one of those things I guess that you just wait around for something else to happen and then they'll fix it."
- Alex Bowman, and the No. 23 Toyota for BK Racing of the NSCS announced on Sunday that Arizona-based sponsor, Innovative Green Technologies, will extend their partnership with the team for the 2014 season. Bowman, a rookie already carries primary sponsorship from Dr. Pepper.

Camping World Close to Extending Title Sponsorship of NCWTS
Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World, Grand Marshal of Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway, and star of CNBC’s “The Profit,” made the announcement over the weekend that the retailer is very close to announcing a deal that would continue its title sponsorship of NASCAR’s Truck Series. The original agreement with NASCAR is scheduled to conclude after the 2015 season.
According to the sanctioning body, no formal contract has been signed, but “the agreement between the two parties has proven to be a beneficial one.”
"In about a month, we'll be announcing a significant extension to that contract. It's been great for us," said Camping World’s Lemonis in a statement. "The NASCAR relationship has worked well for Camping World. When we started, we had 35 stores. Now, we're up to 120 stores. As we travel the country and we meet new customers in stores, they always are very appreciative of our relationship with NASCAR. It's been good."
Gaining a long-term commitment from Camping World to sponsor the Truck Series would be a relief for NASCAR, which is set to lose Nationwide Insurance as title sponsor for the NASCAR Nationwide Series at the end of the 2014 season. The sponsorship of the Cup Series by Sprint runs through 2016.
The NCWTS is back in action on March 29th at 2:30 PM (ET) when the trucks visit Martinsville Speedway in the Kroger 250, which can be seen on Fox Sports 1. Ratings for the season opener were up 11 percent.

Danica Patrick, Justin Allgaier Discuss Phoenix Incident
A disappointing start to the year for Danica Patrick won't include continued conflict. Patrick met with rookie Justin Allgaier Sunday, shortly after the Phoenix Cup race after a wreck ruined both drivers' days. Patrick, who was critical of the No. 51 car on the radio, claiming Allgaier was "driving all over the track" appeared receptive to a conversation that quickly settled differences over what will be a long season.
“She was just upset because she got involved in the crash that we had,’’ said Allgaier to the Motor Racing Network. “She says she’s been through this and that she felt like I needed to settle down at that point. I explained my position on why everything happened. I think she understood where I was coming from. It doesn’t fix either one of our racecars. It doesn’t fix either one of our days. Unfortunately, we were both having pretty decent days.’’
Allgaier wound up 30th due to the incident while Patrick was 36th. The incident, which was caused by Allgaier's spin also involved the No. 32 team and Travis Kvapil, which wound up 38th after sustaining heavy damage.

Ellis has started seven Nationwide Series events in his two-year career, his last start coming in 2013 at Homestead-Miami. He also ran in the NCWTS NextEra Energy Resources 250 at Daytona this season for FDNY Racing.

A Tale of Two Teams: Stewart-Haas and Richard Childress Racing
Sitting In The Stands: A Fan's View
by S.D. Grady
There Happy Harvick sits, in Victory Lane, hoisting the trophy for his brand new No. 4 team in the air. And he didn't just sneak one in, this week. Oh, no. He did a slam dunk, wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am kind of win. He didn't have a real competitor nipping at his heels for more than half of Sunday's Phoenix Sprint Cup race. So we've got to be thinking to ourselves that Stewart-Haas Racing made a pretty shrewd judgment call with all their new drivers in place for 2014. Yes, sirree. Already got a win under their belt and have a car heading to the Chase. Richard Childress Racing must be crying in their beer over kicking Harvick out in favor of the prodigal grandson, right?
And while Austin Dillon stole all the headlines during SpeedWeeks, as NASCAR celebrated the return of the No. 3 to the track, and he finished a very respectable ninth at the Daytona 500, that does not necessarily reflect the accomplishments of the entire stable. Or does it?
Let's look at a few hard numbers, while our heart tries to win the argument the way it wants. In 2013, after the first two races of the season, the three Stewart-Haas cars averaged a 23.50 finish. This represented three top 10s and three top 40s, respectively. Not a fantastic or consistent start to the season for the Nos. 10, 14 and 39, right? Meanwhile, over at Childress, an unhappy Harvick, weary Jeff Burton, Paul Menard, and Austin Dillon (only entered in the Daytona 500) squeaked out an average finish of 23.86 for the same two races. Not a significant difference between the two teams.
Now, with 2014, we would expect some growing pains for both programs. On an impulse buy, SHR decided to expand to a fourth car and invite the ever-explosive Kurt Busch over, while taking on Harvick's contract and saying good-bye to the perennial bridesmaid, Ryan Newman. Over at Childress, they're breaking in a rookie with nearly as much fanfare as Danica received last year. Otherwise, prayers are being said in hopes that the No. 31 car just might be resurrected this season with Newman's assistance.
How did the numbers even out? Curious? After two races, SHR has a rather ordinary 25.125 average. Meh. Even with Harvick's trip to Victory Lane. Across the compound, RCR logged a 20.75.
Hmmm. So, both teams are running a tick lower than last year. But just a tick. Still, RCR has the advantage in experience, even with that cowboy hat-toting rookie sitting in a seat, and it shows in their numbers. They've been at this longer than Tony Stewart's crew, even if you take into account Stewart and Busch's combined four Cups. However, only one of those belongs to the current stable.
Can 2014 be a breakout year for SHR? Placing them in that rarified dimension of race teams that Hendrick, Gibbs, Roush, and Childress can lay claim to? Well, not according to early tabulations. And did Childress make all the right calls in rearranging his driver roster? That's not a guaranteed yes, either.
It is just two races into the year. Much has already happened, setting Harvick up to have an amazing season and Austin Dillon to stink up his rookie class. But the bottom line is it appears SHR and RCR played a little shell game, and neither have found the magic ball quite yet. Give them time. Sooner or later, somebody always cracks the code. I'm just left wondering which one will do it first.
