Don't make a lot of sense to me when a guy is 5th in points.


KERNERSVILLE, N.C. -- Kevin Harvick Incorporated (KHI) announced Tuesday that Matt Crafton will complete the 2004 NASCAR Craftsman Truck season behind the wheel of the No. 6 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet but will not return in 2005.

"Matt has done a great job for us this year and I wish him the best in the future," said Kevin Harvick, owner of Kevin Harvick Inc.

"We have been a steady and consistent top-10 team this season but we need to be a consistent top-five team and winning races.

"We felt it was in the best interest of both parties to make the announcement now because it will give each of us the opportunity to secure a direction for next season."

In 20 Truck Series starts this season, Crafton has four top-five and 13 top-10 finishes and is currently fifth in the championship standings.

The 2005 driver for the No. 6 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet will be named at a later date.
 
Not a bad record for Crafton but, i guess as owner you would like to see some wins for your money. Best of luck to both of them.
 
Guess the same could be said for kevin in Nextel cup. :lol: :) :lilangel:
 
Surely a shocker, but I guess it's for the better. Good luck to Matt on his future plans!
 
I was thinking overnight about the realationship Kevin has with Ron Hornaday, Just wondering if he's opening this seat up for Ron?

Hornaday did help Kevin out quite a bit. That would make since. :cheers:
 
That's a shame! I like Crafton, and I've heard rumor that Hornaday would be going back to the truck series! I think it'd be a GREAT fit!
 
Well .... I hate that. I thought Matt was doing an OK job for Kevin.
