Kevin Harvick Has Been Racing With Broken Ribs
1 year agoDuring the Verizon 200 at The Brickyard race weekend, Kevin Harvick disclosed that he had been racing with broken ribs recently. "I fell down a flight of steps in Italy," said Harvick, whose son Keelan is racing karts in Europe. "I had a stack of busted ribs." It didn't seem to affect him too much, though, because during that time he was able to post two 4th-place finishes (at Pocono and New Hampshire) along with a 10th-place finish at Richmond. At the Indy Road Course, Harvick struggled for much of the weekend, and after starting back in 38th-place he was able to get up to 23rd-place when the checkered flag waved. Looking to the Playoffs, Harvick now has a 145-point advantage over the cutline with two races remaining. He will be a shoo-in to the Playoffs field unless we get two new winners over the next two races, and then things could get interesting between Harvick and Brad Keselowski (who currently has a 143-point advantage over the cutline).
