Nothing Posted about what happened to Harvick...!
Just Found a Little Tid-bit on #4 :
"The start of the race was delayed from Wednesday when Tropical Depression Bertha invaded the Carolinas. Nor was Thursday race free from weather issues. Lightning in the area of the Concord, North Carolina, track interrupted the proceedings for 75 minutes after NASCAR called a caution on Lap 28 for Matt Kenseth’s spin in Turn 4. After the resumption at 9:07 p.m., (Harvick had the dominant car, piling up a race-high 63 laps led.
But Harvick’s car was set up for short runs, and the final stint went long.
“It just fell off at Lap 30,” Harvick said. “We knew that’s what we had, and it went straight 60-some laps. (The team) did a really good job of turning the car around — the total opposite of what we raced last Sunday. So it was a good test session for us. We just didn’t need a long run.”)
Blaney ran third behind Elliott and Hamlin, who was driving without the services of his crew chief, car chief and lead engineer after the team was penalized for the accidental dropping of tungsten ballast on the warm-up laps for the Coca-Cola 600.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. came home fourth, posting his first top five since running third at Las Vegas before the coronavirus pandemic brought the season to a temporary halt. Kurt Busch was fifth, followed by Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, Austin Dillon, Martin Truex Jr. and Harvick.
Logano won Stage 1, with Alex Bowman picking up his fourth stage win at Charlotte this week with a victory in Stage 2 after leading 51 laps. Bowman, however, clobbered the Turn 4 wall while chasing Harvick on Lap 136 and finished 31st, two laps down.
