In the what i can of the tragedy, Richard Childress racing put harvick in the drivers seat ahead of schedule. What do you recall from watching that crash . Yeah. You know, we were at home just watching the race, watched it to the end. Watched the crash, turned it off and left the house. Anything abnormal or any harder crash than youve ever seen before.

See logano moved up got pushed right there and right about here is going to be the moment of caution. You see the yellow light.
