Kevin Harvick (No. 2 STUBBS Legendary Bar-B-Q Chevrolet) doesn’t run many NASCAR Camping World Truck races.
But when he does: Saturday’s Gateway victory was his third of the season, seventh since 2008 and 12th consecutive top-five finish.
And do those owner points add up.
Harvick’s truck trails leader Todd Bodine’s No. 30 Germain entry by just 10 points.
The economy may be tough but Harvick and his wife, DeLana, have managed to sell all of the remaining races for Hornaday’s flagship No. 33 and the No. 2 as well.
“You just had to lower your overhead costs to make your company run more efficiently with the new (sponsorship) price point that everyone is willing to spend,” said Harvick, who won his first NCWTS pole in his 105th start.
Bodine finished fourth on a brutally hot day in suburban St. Louis that left the 2006 champion with second-degree burns. He increased an 88- point lead over Aric Almirola to 101.
“The pit stop was the difference,” said Bodine, who started 14th. “We got a little track position from great pit stops again this week. I have the best crew on pit road for sure.”
