Short Laps

Kevin Harvick (right) has already clinched the Busch Series championship, but there's one driver he's still chasing: Sam Ard. In 1983 Ard set the series record by winning 10 races in a season. Harvick can tie that mark with a victory in the Ford 300 on Saturday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway .... As crew chief for Ryan Newman , Matt Borland helped Newman win 12 races and 37 poles from 2001 through this year. Last Friday, Borland took a leave of absence from the number 12 team, which is currently 18th in the standings. That means Borland 's days atop Newman 's pit box are likely over.
