Can Harvick ever win the championship

Despite all the World Series excitement, there is another close contest of the Nascar Sprint Cup Championship going down to the last 4 races of the season. Effectively speaking, there are only 3 drivers have a good shoot at the Championship; Jimmie Johnson, #48, the 4-time defending champion, Denny Hamlin, #11, and Kevin Harvick, #29.

Here, I am going to talk about Kevin Harvick and why he will not win and probably will never win until he grows up. He is a 11 year veteran, but yet is immature like an rookies. For example,

1. Remember how he took out Joey Logano, the shouting match afterward (those are all understandable giving the heat of the moment), then Joel mentioned Kevin's wife (that was immature and over the line), but then Kevin jabbed at Joel and on and on. Remember, you have an 11 year veteran and a 2nd year kid. Instead, you have 2 kids, not an adult and a kid.

2. Remember Cliff Bowyer won at Dover, then failed the post-race inspection. No, I am not going to comment whether the inspection was fair or not. After Denny Hamlin made comments accusing RCR, Harvick hit Hamlin during practice. I understand he is upset. But Mr. Harvick, why bring the attention and distraction to yourself as you go into the Chase.

3. Just 2 weeks ago, opening complain about this crew. And they probably weren't the best and a change did happen eventually. But it definitely didn't win any friends.

4. Last week, he and Jeff Burton, a teammate, started a fight in the middle of the race by banging on each other, then complain to the press. Wow. Right in the middle of a championship fight.

Can you imagine the Giants and Rangers to start a flight among themselves rather than the opponent. His immaturity makes it ever so difficult to really win it all while under pressure. Until he grows up, it is hard to see that right now.
