Ahead of the NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover Motor Speedway, [autotag]Kyle Larson[/autotag] made a significant announcement regarding the NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Larson announced that [autotag]Kevin Harvick[/autotag] would replace him in practice and qualify for North Wilkesboro. This comes as Larson will be at Indianapolis for practice and qualifying.
Harvick recently retired from full-time racing in the Cup Series and moved to the FOX Sports booth. Now, the 2014 Cup Series champion will return to the NextGen car. It will be Harvick’s first time driving for Hendrick Motorsports at the top level as he competes in the No. 5 car with sponsorship from Hendrickcars.com. Out of all the options, this is the most surprising.
The FOX Sports commentator will be at North Wilkesboro to call the NASCAR All-Star Race, but he will have an opportunity to compete beforehand. Harvick didn’t say he was retired from NASCAR and has left the door open to start moving forward. While it may not be an official start, Harvick in the No. 5 car will be a sight.
