In the post-race media conference, Harvick said that 21-month-old daughter Piper wanted a trophy Sunday (she calls trophy, “ropy”) so dad made sure his girl got a “ropy.”
Harvick, who drives for Stewart-Haas Racing, has won three races this season and is among 16 drivers, including Indiana’s own Ryan Newman, in the 16-driver Chase that begins Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Harvick won at the Brickyard in 2003 and is the 2014 NASCAR Cup champion.
Seven-time NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson did not qualify for The Chase, ending a string of 15 consecutive playoff runs.
