Harvick and Shell to Stewart-Haas

Kevin Harvick has told RCR CEO Richard Childress that he wants out of the last year of his contract in 2010 to go with his pal Tony Stewart at Stewart-Haas Racing. Problem is that Shell / Pennzoil, whose contract with RCR ends this year, will go with him. Before you get to upset with Harvick remember racing is a performance based business. Either you perform at the highest levels or you are left in the dust of those that do. That's true at any level of motorsport and RCR is struggling this year at all levels. We'll see what happens here but I say it is a good bet that both Harvick and Shell / Pennzoil will be in the Hendrick fold at Stewart-Haas next year.
