How many people would think Denny Hamlin would be #1 in the standings with his blistering five (5) Sprint Cup wins, seven (7), top five finishes, and seven (7) top ten finishes? Well one question begets a couple others. Did you know Jimmie Johnson is in second, 140 points behind 1st, with four (4) wins, seven (7) in the top five, and ten (10) finishes in the top 10?
Your probably asking your self, well whose #1? The answer is Kevin Harvick. 2010’s NASCAR season has seen Harvick put up only one (1) win and he hasn’t even won a pole position! I know its crazy, how can a guy be #1, if he has one (1) win? Its called consistency ladies and gentleman…. Harvick has managed to put himself near the front at the end nearly every race. Harvick is HOT right now, maybe not in the win column, but he has finished five (5) times in the top 5, without winning and five (5) more finishes in the top 10!
FYI…Harvick has never finished better than 3rd at the end of the NASCAR season. Public spats with The Home Depot’s Joey Lagano, seems only to fire this guy up! Does Harvick needs some good luck to keep this streak up because he has the No. 48 of Jimmie Johnson breathing in his review mirror. Johnson will stop at nothing to claim another Sprint Cup Championship. There will be more to follow on this story as the NASCAR season evolves. Your thoughts and comments are encouraged below…

Well after Jimmie;s win on Sunday it only netted him 36 points closer to #1! That my friends makes a case for Harvick in itself!
Who cares about “Happy Harvick”..his wife Delanna is HOTTER than his consistent driving ability. The Go Daddy princess is more consistent than Harvick but only at sucking, pouting, and bitching. I was kind of hoping for a longer “MIA status” of the Go Daddy Princess. She will be going back to her roots very soon..F1 or home that is. Go Dell Jr at Daytona Baby…WOO-HOO!!
