Jr is showing signs of being a front row guy again, and the last thing he needs is his crew chief throwing him under the bus. Rather people like him or hate him NASCAR is better off with Jr running up front and winning races~

RedNeckRaider: Junior was running slower than Harvick. The #29 passed Junior clean. We both know if Harvick was Dale, Sr -- Junior would've hit the wall. Same thing with Kyle. Busch would've normally had a conniption if someone bumped him for the lead. Harvick found his way around Kyle and Junior by racing them clean. If Junior or Kyle had a faster car, they would've battled it out for the lead. But Harvick was faster and that was the difference.
Four fewer laps and Junior would have won. Plain and simple.

And it’s not as if Harvick doesn’t understand what it’s like to be in Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s position.
Just last year, Harvick himself was immersed in a 115-race stretch that spanned almost three full seasons where he failed to win a Cup points-race. A period of time which left him questioning the ability of his team and more importantly himself.
