Daytona 500, Brickyard 400 champion Kevin Harvick enters TD Banknorth 250

Oxford, ME — Kevin Harvick is stock car racing’s equivalent of a big-game quarterback.

Consider the 2007 season, when Harvick swept the season-opening Daytona 500 and Orbitz 300 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. Three months later, with another million-dollar jackpot sitting on the table, Harvick scored his first-ever victory in the NASCAR Nextel All-Star Challenge at Lowe’s (N.C.) Motor Speedway. 

Harvick also is part of a new NASCAR generation that pledges its allegiance to racing anything, anywhere, at any time. Pull all those clues together and it’s no surprise that Harvick has announced his entry into the 2008 TD Banknorth 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway.

Brown is the first Granite State competitor to win the 250 since Dave Dion in 1992. His victory ended Maine’s 11-race winning streak.
