One season of not making the chase and Harvick wants out?

May be...

When was the last time Harvick led laps or had a chance to win a race? RCR hasn't been competitive for quite some time now. I'm surprised Harvick has stayed this long. I would have left a few seasons ago.

have you never been unhappy in your job? until you've walked a mile in his moccasins, you have no right to judge or criticize.

Well he's always aspired to having his own cup team, this may just bring it to fruition sooner.

i'm not going to point the finger on this one. harvick (with the most tenure at rcr) is running worst of the 4 drivers. i think he has a lot on his noggin with his truck and nationwide teams, lack of funding etc. i'm not making excuses for him since he is my least favorite driver. however, it sure seems obvious his concentration and effort aren't there this year. clint bowyer and jeff burton (when he isn't being run over) seem to run up towards the front each week but kevin is more like an also ran. i hope richard shows him the door.

I'm not sure how he's blaming RCR for his problems. Yes, the team is not doing that well this year overall. However, Harvick is last out of all four team members. Casey Mears really struggled at Hendrick, yet he is 3 places higher than Harvick this year. Jeff Burton and Clint Bowyer have been showing some better runs of late and are even higher in the standings. It seems to me that combined with his inability to win any races last year, either, that perhaps he is projecting the blame onto RCR to avoid placing it on himself. Maybe he is spending too much time focused on his lower teams. But when everyone else on the team is doing better than you and/or even showing improvement... I don't see how you should blame the team owner for it.

yeah I thought that too every driver and team has a down year and that's what's happening at RCR I mean next year they could get back on track win the championship for all we know

cry baby

Its been a awful yr for RCR, Happy Harvick as he is normally known as certainly isn't happy thats for sure. But all of the drivers are struggling on the team, I don't blame him for wanting out, but Childress says Harvick isn't going anywhere. If he stays put for next yr,RCR better get their program together, as Harvick won't be the only driver wanting out at RCR.

Go Dale Jr & Hms

If I had to venture a guess as to what " Happy " Harvick's deal is, I would say this. He has a front row, behind the scenes peek at the day to day goings on at RCR, and maybe he's not comfortable with the show.

RCR hasn't exactly been ripping it up this year. And while last year looks like a banner year, look closer. RCR as a whole won some races and contended in the chase, but they didn't exactly set the world alight. They didn't go out and dominate races. They won on last pit stop calls and wrecks by the front runners. I can't remember the last time an RCR car lead the most laps in a race in route to victory. Maybe Kevin has looked at what they are doing as a whole to fix this problem, and is not satisfied with the plans for the future.

If I were in that situation and thought I had a shot at abandoning ship for an upwardly mobile team like SHR, I'd at least consider it.

What's up with that?

Simply put....He want to go to STEWART_HAAS..which is the team of the present and future...Harvick is no dummie.

He had threatened to leave in the past if RCR didn't get more competitive. They looked to be heading in the right direction last year but now they seem be behind again. I think adding the 4th car just spread them too thin.

Harvick may never win a cup title but he is far better than his results have shown. He should be a solid top 10 guy.

Harvick hasn't done a whole lot with RCR. I know he won 5 races in 06 and the Daytona in 07, (and a heck of alot of Busch races) but I think RCR doesn't appear to really be making much progress as some of the other teams did. I would like to see Harvick swap rides with Jr and see what happens with that ride... If you can't win with Hendrick, you just can't win. Look at Mark Martin!

i think he's actually wanted out for a while now

The last race he won was the 2007 Daytona 500, and as everyone is desperatly trying to make happen is more emphasis on winning races, and what racing is all about, I'd be ready to leave, too. He wants to win races, and where RCR is right now, he can't do that.garden stone suppliers
