RICHMOND, Va.—Kevin Harvick got a unique perspective Thursday night at Richmond—at least for him.
Harvick and Elliott Sadler were among a small group of spectators in the backstretch grandstands as Denny Hamlin came from his last-place starting position to win his own 75-lap charity race at the three-quarter-mile short track.
“I needed to move down about half a section, because all the wrecks were coming off of Turn 2,” Harvick quipped Friday morning. “It was just fun to watch, honestly. There was a lot going on, and sometimes it’s fun. … That’s the first time I have ever even stepped foot outside of the infield at the racetrack here.

“Usually, I’m racing the Nationwide car or truck or whatever the case may be. And you sit on pit road if you are not racing and just watch them go by, but we sat up there and just took in a different perspective, and sometimes that’s good.
“It was definitely fun, and here it’s fun because you can see the whole track and you get close enough to the racetrack to feel what’s going on.”
