Kevin Harvick had high expectations for RFK Racing in the last four races of the 2024 season. Despite his hopes, Harvick was unable to break his 105-race winless streak since joining the team as an owner-driver. In contrast, his teammate managed to win four races during the same period, making Harvick’s performance even more disappointing. The entire Ford garage has underperformed this season, raising concerns for both Harvick and his teammate, the 2014 NASCAR Cup champion. Harvick had hoped that the No. 6 and No. 17 cars would shine in the recent short-track Cup races, but they had average performances and fell short at Martinsville. This lackluster display left Harvick worried about his former rival’s chances. RFK Racing had previously found success on short tracks, winning two races in the Next-Gen era and consistently performing well in those races last season. However, their performance in the races at Bristol, Richmond, and Martinsville did not meet expectations. With 18 races remaining in the regular season, the team still has a chance to bounce back from their current slump. Fans can expect improvements after the mid-season break, considering the team’s progress in the previous year. However, the overall struggle in the Ford garage does not guarantee success for RFK Racing.
