Does Kevin Harvick stay or go?

Stewart-Haas Racing is switching from Chevy to Ford next year. Kevin Harvick has raced in Chevrolet's his entire Cup career. It seems that the perfect fit would be to dump Kahne and recruit Kevin for the 5 car.

Harvick says he's staying but Harvick replacing Kahne at Hendrick seems to be the conventional belief in the garage.

If Harvick doesn't go, Hendrick might recruit Larson. Either way, I think Kahne's time in top-tier rides is about done. Hendrick thought he'd win championships and he's not even winning races. Kahne has a way of breaking out a miracle win when he's about to lose his ride but I just don't see that being enough for him to stay much longer.

Since the "stock car" isn't actually "stock", nor a "Chevy", I really doubt it matters what brand logo is painted on the grill.

The Chevy sticker gives you an aerodynamic advantage and you can gain one-one thousandth of a second with it. The Toyota sticker allows you to gain a full tenth of a second.

Harvick basically confirmed that he will be staying with SHR and making the switch to Ford next year.

The Gibbs cars are so far superior to the rest of the field right now, it's not even funny. At this point, I'm starting to think three Gibbs cars and Truex will be the final four.

Not sure they can hold that advantage all year though. Other teams will catch up eventually. Jimmie and Harvick are locked in so Chad and Childers are gonna get to work with science experiments. Not to mention that, even as good as Gibbs cars are right now, Jimmie and Harv are able to keep up.

I'm kind of glad NASCAR doesn't intervene every time ONE manufacturer has a huge advantage anymore, but it sure is boring to watch the same guys win every single race. Even worse since Kyle Busch has the worst fans in all of professional sports.
