Kevin Harvick reiterates commitment to Stewart-Haas
We can put this one to rest, right?
Kevin Harvick tweeted Thursday evening that he was looking forward to driving the No. 4 car for “many years to come.”
Looking forward to driving the #4 car for many years to come. Never had more fun racing & love my team. #4thewin

Harvick’s team, Stewart-Haas Racing, is switching to Ford for the 2017 season and Harvick’s original contract with the team was believed to be up at the 2016 season. The manufacturer switch stoked some people’s thoughts that Harvick would want to stay in the Chevrolet camp despite the driver making no public statements to support the validity of such musings. Harvick has driven nothing but Chevrolets throughout his NASCAR career.
And besides, there was no top-tier place for the 2014 champion to go if he wanted to stick with Chevrolet. He’s already driven for Richard Childress Racing and Hendrick Motorsports has no openings.
