Kevin Harvick is not happy with NASCAR’s decision to remove scoring pylons. Scoring pylons have always been a fixture at the race track, providing fans with real-time updates on the positions of their favorite drivers. They also help drivers keep track of their own position on the track. So it came as a surprise when NASCAR chose to remove the pylons before the last two races.
The NASCAR community was shocked when the pylons were first taken down at Texas Motor Speedway, and the decision was met with widespread criticism. Now, ahead of the Talladega race weekend, the pylons have been removed from the track once again. This has caught the attention of Kevin Harvick, the 2014 Cup champion, who has expressed his strong opinion on the matter.
Harvick doesn’t understand why the pylons have been removed and finds it illogical for NASCAR to ask fans to use an app to track the positions of their favorite drivers during the race. He believes it would be better to bring back the pylons for the fans’ benefit.
When discussing the 2024 season so far, Harvick noted that the battle for supremacy is between Joe Gibbs Racing and Hendrick Motorsports. These two teams have dominated, winning eight out of the ten races this season.
Harvick expects the competition between the Chevy and Toyota giants to continue throughout the season, with a driver from one of these teams likely to take the championship. This would mark the end of Team Penske Racing’s dominance in the Next-Gen era.
