Kevin Harvick has had a pretty good last dozen races. But let’s not go back to last year where he won his first championship. Let’s go back to the start of this year. Where he’s done nothing but place in the Top 2 every race.
2nd at Daytona.
2nd at Atlanta.
1st at Las Vegas.*
UPDATES/NEWFLASH/BREAKING:
1st at Phoenix.
2nd at Fontana.
*And did I mention we are heading to Phoenix this weekend where he’s won 4 of the last 5 races?
I really think that only means one thing. Kevin Harvick will place in the Top 2 for every race the rest of this year and here are FOUR REASON WHY.
1. He’s on pace to finish 1.666666667th.
Let’s just call it 1st or 2nd. Someone told this guy that if you ain’t first your last (Ricky Bobby’s father), and Kevin said to hell with that. If you ain’t first your second.
I use to always laugh when in the 4th game of the year Sammy Sosa would have hit 5 home runs and someone would have to say, “Well Bob you know that puts Sammy on pace for 202 home runs this year.”
Shut up Bob, and Bob’s co-host, a young me would alway say.
Well not anymore! I’m a lot older, wiser, unfortunately not taller than I was when I was 13 – but I’m buying it this time Bob. A pace is a pace, and like that silly show on ESPN.. Numbers never lie!
Don’t forget to spay and neuter your pets.
2. He’s been keeping it 100.
Do you follow this guy on social media? Every since he’s won that 2014 Sprint Cup Championship he’s been having so much freaking fun and he’s so freaking happy. And Happy is his nickname! He’s taking it to a whole new level!
For example: Mini Golf
Exhibit B: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
And number 3: Big Wheels
See. Keeping it 100. He’s happy and having fun. And did I mention he is happy?
3. Hear me out – 2 + 2 x 1 = 4.
I’ve seen that Jim Carrey non-comedy. It’s called “The Number 23” to be exact.
In it Jim, becomes obsessed with the number 23, Michael Jordan and the Smokin’ Joes car back at Fontana in 1997.
I made up only one of those things I swear. Now let’s use Jim’s theory from the based on a true story tale to prove our theory.
2 + 2 x 1 = 4
2 + 2 = 4
1 + 2 + 1 = 4
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4
That’s 4 ways to get to 4 only using 1’s and 2’s. You guys I know you’ll find this hard to believe but this was a bullshit theory until I just pulled this out of my ass and scared myself. I’m so right. This is nuts!
Wait how does “The Number 23” end? It was a happy ending right? Oh boy.
4. He’s the best driver right now.
Right now. Like today. Now. (March 2015 between the 3rd and 4th race of the year in case you are reading this in the smithsonian in the near distant future).
Joey is fast, damn fast. But Joey is young.
Jimmie is the GOAT. But Jimmie has found a bad batch of Lucky Charms.
Jeff wants to go out on top, this is his swan song. But Jeff is an amazing driver on what is probably the most amazing team of drivers ever assembled.
Denny, Carl, Kyle (but which one?!), Greg, Ryan, Bad Brad, Easy B and DJ Craze don’t have names that start with the letter J. But that’s okay we like them anyway.
Kevin is damn fast. He had his run of bad luck last year and he still won last year! And the pressure is there, but he’s in a win-win situation.
If he wins this year he wins. If he loses this year, he wins. Yes my editors were confused too. Who wins back to back? Freak of natures like Jimmie do. No one is suppose to. Harv is playing with house money and his banker, Mr. Rodney Childers is one of the best in the business.
What does Harv have to lose this year? He’s fast and he’s not suppose to win. So why not spend most of the summer in victory lane?
Or the other place drivers go who don’t go to victory lane but still finish top 2 go.
Hey I promised first OR second remember?
