Kevin Harvick, driver of the No. 4 Busch Beer Flannel Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing:

“You know, I went to the back to start and thought that was going to happen several times throughout the day. I got myself back there and it looked pretty tame, so I decided to go back to the front and drove back up there fairly easy. I don’t know what happened. They all wrecked and I slowed down, and somebody hit me in the door and I hit the wall.”

Next Up:

The next event on the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series schedule is the Gander RV 400 on Sunday, May 5 at Dover (Del.) International Speedway. The race starts at 2 p.m. EDT with live coverage provided by FS1 and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.​
