Next year (2011) Harvick, will no longer have Shell-Pennzoil as his primary sponsor as they will be on the number 22 car with driver Kurt Busch at Penske Racing. Since Harvick will need a sponsor for the 2011 and is currently looking rumor is that Budweiser is looking to close a deal to sponsor him and the 29 team for Richard Childress Racing starting next year(2011).

Also Kevin won hisis first career Pole in the Camping World Truck Series at Gateway International Raceway (the race he also won) in his own #2 Chevrolet Silverado, it adds Harvick to the few NASCAR drivers who have won a pole award and a race in each of NASCAR's three major series.
