Stewart-Haas Racing driver Kevin Harvick was not a happy camper at all, at the Sonoma Raceway. During the race, the #4 driver was forced to endure a painfully long 20-second pit stop.

Taking things into context, under normal circumstances, 20 seconds is not a long time. However, in the motor racing world, being stationary for 20 seconds feels like an eternity. Naturally, the veteran driver was fuming at the lost opportunity to finish in a good position.

He said, “We had just a terrible pit stop there at the end. Fought our way back, but we had a pretty good car all day. We had a decent finish, but didn’t finish where we should have. [Need to contend with] something that wasn’t a 20-second pit stop.”

Now, all that he can do is rue what could have been, then prepare for the next race and another shot at the win. Fortunately, he has a good two weeks before everyone makes landfall at the Nashville Superspeedway later this month. Harvick has won there twice in the past in the Xfinity Series, so he could be a favorite.
