FloridaToday.com - "After starting 34th and running as deep as 29th after 180 of 200 laps [of the Dayton 500], Harvick worked his way up to sixth and during a red flag for a late-race wreck proved prescient.

"I thought coming back to take the green (flag) that he'd probably get a pretty decent finish, maybe at least a top 5. I thought he could get around a couple of cars in front of him if they could help draft with him. I just remember thinking 'That's OK, he's going to get a pretty decent finish,' and the next thing I remember is hearing his spotter screaming, 'C'mon, give it all you've got it's the Daytona 500.'
"In an instant I look at the TV and I see him passing Mark Martin and it's not registering to me what's happening. I've got this guy screaming in my ear, I'm watching Kevin do this and I remember leaning over the wall just to see if I could see him cross the start-finish line and I did, and then it's all a blank...
"I don't remember how everything happened because, and this is embarrassing, I fell down in the fetal position and cried like a baby behind pit wall between the pit box."
