Robin Miller is hearing that Danica will go to Roush next year and that Clint Bowyer will bring 5-Hour to fill her former seat at SHR.

Good move for Tony. Cut his losses and get a good driver. Bowyer going to SHR may boost him like it has Harvick.

Unless Bowyer is able to bring Childers over to his team he'll never even get close to achieving what Harvick has..IMO the success Harvick has had is nothing short of phenomenal..And I've been a Harvick fan from his first race after Dale Sr's death..IMO Harvick/Childers is without a doubt the best driver/crew chief combo in Nascar..Johnson/Knaus is close but IMO they are still a distant 2nd..To start COMPLETELY from scratch, top to bottom, and win a championship at the same time should go down as possibly the greatest achievement in Cup history..

Yeah. That was amazing and will NEVER happen again.

And holy **** I about fell out of the IMS penthouse reading that post. So 1 Cup is now better than what the 48 has done? What the 24 has done? The Harvick team is on a hell of a run, but it doesn't have shot on what Jimmie Johnson has done. Or winning 13 races in one year. That was just stupid.

Different scenarios. OP was saying it was really impressive how they built the team from the ground up in a couple months and then won the championship in that year. Kulwicki was very impressive too, winning the championship as an owner/driver however his team was around for several years before winning a championship.

....given that Harvick's wealth of resources to pull from, I'd give the nod to Kulwicki.

With the differences in the level of competition back then as compared to 2014, I'll take what Harvick and Childers did from scratch...As for JJ and his 5 I didn't say anything about it not being impressive..My point was Harvick and Childers did it without benefit of working together in Sprint Cup before..With the parity at the Cup level being what it is I guarantee you NOBODY predicted much of anything from them before the season started, much less a Championship..But feel free to call the point stupid if you so choose....

JMHO

BTW I was referring to the 2014 season only,not KH's career..RCR wasted Harvick's talent for the first part of his career..Maybe SHR can provide a better opportunity to HAVE a body of work to reflect upon

You said his championship was possibly the greatest achievement in Cup history. That's not even close to being the case. So I put in perspective, and it doesn't measure up.

I'd say his streak of top 2s is the one of the most impressive achievements in the sports history. With the level of competition today that's unreal.

Kyle Busch announced that he will be running the All-Star race and beyond. Still think it's too soon for his return.
