DETROIT – (November 15, 2016) – In the immortal words of rap superstar Eminem: “If you only had one shot or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip away?”

This weekend Chevrolet has one opportunity to capitalize on the chance to win the brand’s 31st NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) driver’s title. Jimmie Johnson is the lone Chevrolet SS driver headed into this weekend’s Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway with a shot at winning this season’s
NSCS championship. The six-time series title holder and his Chad Knaus-led No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet SS team are looking to make history by winning a record-tying seventh championship. If Johnson gets the title, he will join the elite ranks of Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt, Sr. as only the third driver in the history of the Sprint Cup Series with seven championship rings.

KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 4 JIMMY JOHN’S CHEVROLET SS – Finished 4th
WHAT WAS LACKING TODAY? WHAT MORE DID YOU NEED TO GET IT DONE HERE TODAY?
“We just started way too far off on Friday. We never got a handle on the racecar. They made it a ton better in the race and we were in contention there at the end and just came up short. Just really proud of everybody for the effort that they put in. It was a very challenging Chase for us for all the mechanical failures and situations that we had going on. We kept rebounding and winning races and today we were a lap down and came back to have a chance at the end. That says a lot about the character of our race team and we just came up short this year.”

YOU NEVER GAVE UP AND THAT WAS KIND OF THE MARK OF THE TEAM ALL DAY.
“That’s a huge credit to the race team and the guys there in the end. We had a chance and could take a swing for it. We just didn’t quite have it all weekend. We made the car a ton better as we got into the race. So I’m proud of everyone for that.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Phoenix →
