This time he just beat me. First time, he finished ahead. This time, just start to finish, just beat me.”It was the first time I’ve watched him in the car â because I got to race behind him pretty much all day â it’s the first time I’ve watched him in the car and I was like, ‘he’s confident’.”He knows how wide his car is, he’s comfortable sliding the car round, his side-by-side was…they’re close enough, right there. He felt comfortable driving the car in the corner. Man, we raced in front of a capacity crown, like 7,000 people.”Harvick also took time to give props to young racer Haeden Plybon, who pipped his son for the win at Evergreen.
