Kevin Harvick, Driver No. 98 Hunt Brothers Pizza Ford Mustang
“I’m happy to have Hunt Brothers Pizza back with us for four Xfinity races in 2018. They’ve been a partner for not only me, but SHR, as well. This team started off at Atlanta last year with (crew chief Richard) Boswell leading the team and had a solid run in our debut. It was our first race together as a team and we were able to lead 64 laps and come away with a top-five finish. This Hunt Brothers Pizza No. 98 team now has a year under its belt and continues to get stronger each time it has an opportunity to race. It’s been exciting to see the Xfinity teams at SHR develop over the last year and I’m glad we get an opportunity to race again this year. I’m confident that this team will build on the foundation we laid last year and be even better this year.”
