Kevin Harvick, the all-time leader in series wins at Bristol with five, is sitting out Friday night in favor of Elliott Sadler, who will drive the No. 33 Rheem Chevrolet for KHI.
Sadler has one series win at Bristol, in the 1998 Spring race.
Harvick — a two-time series champion and the current NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings leader who clinched his spot in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup last Sunday at Michigan — has appeared in at least one NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Bristol since his Raybestos Rookie season in 2000. He had run in each of Bristol’s two events each year except 2008, when he competed only in the spring.
In 20 career races there, Harvick has 13 top fives, 16 top 10s and two poles to go along with his record five victories.
This is the first NASCAR Nationwide Series race at a combination weekend Harvick has missed since last November at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Sadler, meanwhile, will be busy at Bristol. In addition to racing Friday night, he’s entered for KHI in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race on Wednesday night. Then there’s his regular full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup ride with Richard Petty Motorsports Saturday night.
He’s one of three drivers who will pull triple duty, joining Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski.
