Kevin Harvick's Harsh Comments on Future Electric NASCAR | Hailie Deegan's Former Crew Chief Speaks

- Kevin Harvick never shied away from sharing what he thought about any number of subjects during his NASCAR Cup Series career as a driver. So it's not surprising to hear the NASCAR on Fox analyst offer his unfiltered opinion on a variety of topics on his "Happy Hour" podcast. During the latest episode, the 2014 champion didn't hold back when talking about electric racing and its future in NASCAR.
Also, in this video, Hailie Deegan's former crew chief talked about the driver, offering encouragement for the future and hinting at some things that happened in the past. Plus, Kyle Larson was on the receiving end of criticism this week from a Cup Series spotter and the Hendrick Motorsports driver returned fire.
And finally, we have our weekly By the Numbers segment, where we dive into our Last 5 Races analysis, plus with Alex Bowman ending an 80-race winless streak at Chicago, we take a detailed look at Cup drivers and the last times they won a race. It's interesting to say the least.

They won’t go electric. If two electric cars get in an accident you need to move them 6 ft away from each other because of fire! From what we seen about 3 months ago. Plus the batteries weigh so much where are you going to dispose of these bad batteries? Seriously!!! America is not and will not ever have enough grid to go electric! It might work for other countries but not America!
Other countries have the same problem. The purpose of the EV push beyond making tons of money for them is to LIMIT the miles you can drive from home. All of these govts. pushing EV's have a total different reasoning than they talk about. Limit where you can drive to limits your freedom. Every EV is known to the big computer tracing their movement and who it is. If they want to stop you and you are driving an electric car, you can forget charging it, no matter where you want to go or even if chargers are available, they won't be for you. It is a control measure.
@@x-man5056 Perfectly said, my friend. It's good to know there are intelligent folks out there still.
@@Icarealot88 Thanks, I Wish I was wrong, but it's just part of a bigger plan. So is letting in 10+ million largely unknown illegal aliens. We are going to wake strangers in our own country if we don't stomp down hard on this BS Marxist admin.
I agree with Kevin.
Nope. Harvick is 100% right. Nascar had already alienated their core fan base and that is the nail in the coffin
Why did they alienate their core fan base? Do they hate their fans?
I completely agree with Harvick on the EV topic. If NASCAR was to go to full EV as a fan I would walk away in a heartbeat. EV's might not be going away, but the fanbase will. You can't run a business if nobody is going to buy what you are selling.
Fair points.
When they go electric I cancel my subscription and never watch them again....period
NASCAR seems determined to kill itself off. I think EV series would do that. Maybe a one off EV exhibition race for the clash might work, but nobody is going to want to go sit in the stands for any series without the noise and smells.
That's what the steam guys said about diesels replacing steam locomotives, most high speed rail in now electric. I test drove a MachE but still bought a GT but things change and eventually gas and diesel cars and trucks will be like steam locomotives only for nostalgia. Peoples grandchildren born in the near future may never know what a gas car is.
@@RSDX99 The Stark Varg and Flux Primo are pretty much ready to dominate open class motocross.
Harvick is right--you are wrong--NO ONE will watch electric nascar !!!!
If they don’t have V8’s screaming it ain’t nascar
Harvick is right. The general public can't afford e.v.s nor are the economical or efficient. NASCAR is just trying to improve that esg score.
My interest in nascar has come and gone at different times over many years ,but i can definitely say that theres no way id ever watch electric cars.
Fair.
Yea that's would draw the line for me. And another series I doubt that xfinty can't even get the seats 1/4 full
I wouldn't put much faith in the Paris based International Energy Agency as a "...confirms that!" for what NASCAR is going to do. JimE
Nope you are wrong. Anything EV is a nail in the coffin.
Kevins right who in there right mind would want to go to a electric race car race, you might as well go watch a submarine race.
EVs are to drive you back and forth to your mindnumbing job.
Racing is the escape from that
If you live 10 miles from work and the weather is perfect.
hallie was let go because she was not doing good. i can wreck wvery week. electric cars will make sounds but not the same thing. taking away the real nascar roots
Fair points.
A seperate, additional series"
Bro, they can barely fill the seats with 1 race. How many races can they afford to host with stands 20% filled and the most popular 75% full?
You’re right it makes no sense when you think of it logically
You're freaking HILARIOUS about electric Cars! NASCAR has already messed their "Show" up! People don't watch the F Series with electric cars and the Challenge Series with electric 4WD SUVs. Matter of Fact they stopped putting it on any Streaming or TV! You think NASCAR is going electric is such a good idea shows you dept of mind process is FLAWED! NASCAR, better take care of the tams and drivers they got before they walk out and start their own Racing League! People won't watch a S@t Show with no sounds!
I agree with Harvick.
Well I think this guy is crazy doing this video! If you would have told me years ago there will be people thinking and talking about bs I would have laughed! Now I am ROFLMBO!!!
If you would have told me 5 years ago I’d be on CZcams I would have called you an idiot. 😂
I'm with Harvick, Kyle. It's the first sensation you get when you come out from under the stands, the roar of a stock car flying by and the whiff of burnt racing fuel. It is a crucial part of the experience. Just say no to EV's everywhere. They are a grift.
I believe that an electic racing series is a bad idea, there would be no passing in any of these races. The reason I say this is because of the way electric cars work. They have all of the torque they produce at lower engine speeds, like starting from a dead stop. These racers are going to be at top speed all of the time and nascar wanting parity is going to speed govern these electric monstrosities. How do you pass a car when they are all going the exact same speed with no torque to complete a pass. Sounds like a very boring race to me.
Fair points.
be 10 yrs before they have batteries that are safe and enough density to actually run a race.
Our gov is forcing the auto manufactures to make electric cars. By placing ridiculous emission standards on them. Americans still love their gasoline and Diesel vehicles. The facts are EV’s only Account for around 10% of new car sales. Kevin Harvick nailed it we don’t need another racing series especially one does it make a sound call.
Good on you Kyle. The opinions of the DBC crew change like the wind. It was this time last year they had their feathers in a ruffle when SVZg won Chicago.
I thought something was up when they got rid of the first crew chief because she was doing better with him I think as far as communication wise the equipment wasn't there and it never was there but I think she and he clicked better. The future is bright for Hailie I wish the best for her and for my own personal reasons I would like her back in NASCAR I enjoy watching her race I think she is talented and should be racing. My belief is in and screwed her that's my belief maybe right maybe wrong but it's my belief
She should go dirt racing
Harvick is right. EV is dying not growing. Companies sell the idea it's going to grow because they need to sell what they built. But some companies already killed off their EV models and focus on hybrids.
EV NASCAR wouldn't be that popular. It would be lower than trucks and arca. No one watches Formula E and it would be the same with NASCAR EV. Sure they can try a series overseas but good luck.
TJ should just spot on Sunday and leave the driving to a champion, something he knows nothing about
Plus Kyle was called out on the same thing by his own spotter on the air awhile back regarding how he raced Hamlin. Till Larson addresses those quirks all comments are entirely welcome!!
Champions usually don't wreck people out and run into Tire barriers I realized he's in the lead as Champion but he's Reckless and careless and when that spot or told him maybe I'll listen to your spotter Mr Big Head Larson or else moved to IndyCar since you're the greatest driver that the world has ever seen I would imagine there's a few F1 drivers out there that would take you up on that challenge you're not the best driver of the world has ever seen I don't know where people are coming up with that b******* I guess you're looking through the Rose Colored Glasses instead of the glasses of reality I really haven't seen him when seven championships I haven't seen him win five in a row maybe when he does that he could be the greatest driver of the world has ever seen what does he want one championship and how many times has he failed to finish races you Larson lovers are delusional you make me laugh you're full of nonsense😂
@@driverslqqk7940 Yeah i mean he was the only one that ran into the tire barrier during that race right? You sound ridiculous
There is a lot of empty seats at the truck races and it usually better than the cup races. I just can't picture anyone traveling more that 20 miles to see this fiasco unless it is a demolition derby.
i want watch golf carts acting a nascars what a joke
EV racing, I have no interest.......
Glad to hear some clarifications on Hailie Deegan's former crew chief. Happy to hear that the rumors that everyone was talking about on social media WAS false......... Thank You for pointing this out to the social media naysayers. Kenny Wallace pointed out the exact words on his podcast a few days ago and called these people out for their remarks concerning Hailie.
The electric NASCAR is bad it's expensive and like a pc or a phone you have to upgrade it when the technology in it gets old unlike an engine and battery to like where do you dispose a ev battery. ps ev are just not cool, unlike biofuel or water car can be better.
harvick is right you are wrong
Not interested in electric race cars not now not ever!
Deegan needs to go back where she was good at if that place exist , goals don't align her owner wanted to win races not have to build a new car each week, go back to playing on your phone maybe that what she is good at.
Do you have a nascar? Cry more😢
Kevin is the past not the future. Never say never. In fact, his own son will be driving an electric NASCAR in the future.😊
Very interesting info concerning the comments made by Hailie Deegan's former crew chief. Very interesting indeed.
I think they should have a nascar ev series because if nascar cup series goes full electric I'm out and I know I'm not the only one.
I'll never watch an electric Cup Race; and I'll never watch another one of your youtube videos.
Each time I try to watch your uploads, I can tell there is nothing new that we don’t already know from a week ago. And no, you’re wrong, nobody will watch electric NASCAR races. They will lose their entire fan base, and as fewer and fewer people are interested in NASCAR nowadays, I don’t think it’s the right move at the moment.
If you want electric, go RC racing. Its fun!
I have a rant. My issue with Halle Deegan is In think she spends to much time on her own CZcams channel than focusing on her driving career. I don't see other young struggling drivers doing what she is doing. Maybe I'm making a bigger deal than it is.
Is he at the shop, sim work or watching film. Something to improve myself.
Ever notice Deegan always qualified around the mid pack in Trucks and that was her first time at that track and no practice. Just get in and go. The in the last 5 races in X she qualified 33rd or worse.
I'm about done with nascar already bring electric cars in the picture I'm gone
I no longer have a driver favorite so going to electric cars is just one more reason to go fishing. Harvick hit it on the nose. Electric will suck
Are you going to mention that AM substitute driver Josh Berry finished in the 27th position. So what direction are they going. I'm not happy with Hailie Deegan's driving in the Exfinity series either but when you have to repeatedly go to pit road for repairs and races with no qualifying it makes it a little hard to compete. I also think there is huge animosity for her and is a target every week. I also believe todays drivers are a bunch of spoiled boys! with expensive toys. Hard to find any driver with a personality to root for. Chase Elliotte or Ryan Blaney may be my exception mostly for their family history. I rooted for Bill Elliotte after Harry Gant.
I was curious so I took the time to read every comment comment below. Spoiler alert, I found only one that would like to see NASCAR racing EV's.
Can't blame AM Racing for actually trying to make money while racing lol. They were put in a tough situation because if they had kept Deegan in the car at Chicago and she didn't qualify for the race, it would have been a huge problem for them moving forward from both a financial and owner points standpoint. They needed someone like Joey Logano to make sure the car would even make the race.
I really enjoy your comments. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Mike. Appreciate it!
An amazes me that your opinion which all it is and Kevin Harvick don't align but Kevin Harvick has driven a race car have you do you think you know more about NASCAR than Kevin Harvick that you're going to make a bold blanket statement that they're here to stay and there's going to be a wow so much b******* coming out of these channels everybody's a big media influencer with their own ideas that's why I quit listening to you or to any of them it's all crap😂😂😂
That’s why we all can have opinions and disagree. I love that. We don’t need to be rude about it.
@@BeatingandBangingBeing rude on the internet seems to be all some people have going for them. It’s a shame they don’t have punctuation.
@@Stephaniepephani facts
Agree that EV vehicles are here to stay. But at a race track, silent cars going around the track . Give me the smell of a car running rich and very loud exhaust!
The stupid cars wouldn't be able to go 500 miles without needing to switch cars.
You are wrong !!
Go ahead and have a EV NASCAR Race. Lets see how many show up, then the next, then the next. Are EV's on the rise? Yes until the sales get to the people that can't afford them. How many EV's do you see in the poor sections of a big city OR out in the country??? This time you Sir are wrong on EV sales.
Im with everyone else. They go electric, We gone.
But if it’s a separate fourth series even?
@@BeatingandBanging The problem with that is how do you decide to field drivers for it? If you take them from cup then it looks like IROC with an electric car, and we all know how IROC ended up. I just dont see a place for it other then a PR stunt just my honest take.
Fair.
Nope you’re the one that’s wrong, just like harvick said if it don’t make noise or burn gas we don’t give a damn
Your takes are interesting but I disagree. We should have an E racing league that nobody watches? This sport doesn’t need more competition for viewership or sponsor spend. Your stats for EV sale increases are skewed. Those figures include government and fleet vehicles that are mandated. Those are not consumer choices or indicators of discretionary adoption. Is there a place for E NASCAR in the next 25 years? Maybe. In the next 5-10? No freakin way.
Yeah. I agree. Not near-term. 25 might be ambitious. Time will tell. Thanks for your comment.
Ev will not make it. Electric cars have been around in the beginning of the auto industry. It never will make it in racing.
Ev 's will be gone in 10 years
Evs will not be going far. The EPA just got there hand smacked for what they have been doing. I expect changes in engines in the future
What were they doing?
Come on Kyle,
Don't believe the hype my brother, please reach out to multiple news channels to form your opinion about EV's.
Kevin Harvick is 100% right. NASCAR has no business transitioning over to electric. Just because the auto industry sells EV's, does not mean the entire sports must conform. Not until there are no gas burning passenger cars left on the road, should NASCAR transition over to electric.
In the past through out all of the changes in NASCAR, have I ever said that I am leaving NASCAR, but this would absolutely do it for me. I will not unsubscribe to your channel because I do enjoy most of your content, I Just absolutely disagree with you on this one.
Totally fair.
As a 40+ year NASCAR fan currently working in the automotive industry, when NASCAR brings EVs into Cup I’m out.
Totally fair. Understand.
EV nascar wtf will watch that crap
Haha what is nascar thinking let these guys drive around these little kids 12 volt electric cars! Now that would be a funny race!!!
That's why Harvick is a retired champion driver. He knows what he's talking about. Sorry dude I won't watch it. I'll watch Smoke and The NHRA Show
Fair.
First Hailie needs to learn more about cars than just start them
Do you have a nascar? Jelly much?
Most cup guys probably can’t even change a tire so no it’s unreasonable to expect Hallie to do all that. Unless she wants to.
Electric cars suck! Especially if you try to put them in Nascar. Would not watch. Period.
Hailie's crew chief should be fired too.
I see why you only have less than 7K subscribers. Just watch and see good buddy. You are dead fricken wrong, so there’s that……..
Please explain why I have less than 7K subs. I’m interested in hearing this.
@@BeatingandBanging It appears that not may people subscribe to your take on the industry. Comparing your site with others doing the same, your numbers pale in comparison, such as most which do this type reporting range from 16.5K to several hundred thousand K. Just doing the math makes one think that most viewers don’t align with your opinions. Can’t say much else……you do the math bro 😎
@@billstev100 I’ve done this for a little over a year. So don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.
@@BeatingandBanging Your response is a prime example of what I’m referring to……doesn’t make a lot of sense, but good luck. Your opinions mean a lot to you so there’s that.
Thanks for well wishes. Appreciate it.
Sounds like the same shit he said about Toyota joining Nascar
You can believe what you want but with few exceptions of a few extreme left wingers. Electric vehicles are all but going away. Let's see what it looks like in 12-24 months from now. I believe you'll be saying Harvick was right.🤷🏼
I’m certainly open to being wrong.
EVs aren't doing well in the market cos they suck!
Nope won’t be watching an EV series! Formula-E sucks & a NASCAR EV series would also suck. It would cost more than it would make easily.
Gas powered cars will be gone by the time I die. Nascar will have to evolve or die. That is fact. Whether we end up with electric, hydrogen, or something else, I don't know, but it won't be gas. Nascar would be smart to try several types. If they want to be around 75 more years.
I don't think so cos the oil moguls won't allow that to happen..EVs are already slumping badly in sales and manufacturers are pulling away from them
Who wants to see a ev race? Ev race cars are like soy burgers. And fake engine noises are as cringy as fake muscle implants
@@davids5006 EV's still pose many challenges but they out-power everything but a blown nitromethane engine. Look at the biggest mining equipment and locomotives, see they use generators not battery power. EV sales will improve when we can get rid of the criminals running the country now, and fix the economy. Industry and infrastructure will still consume mass quantities of hydrocarbons. Distributing petroleum products has been our family business for 48 years.
I've raced EVs for years. HO.slot cars
Do I want to go watch full size ones? That'd be a big no
@@user-rx7ns4re9u Open wheel has their electric series and it is outstanding entertainment.
