MBS-Logo-300x101The CV Products Trackside Crew is in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, this weekend for the 22nd Annual Myrtle Beach 400. This year’s event — transformed into a two-day campaign because of the threat of rain on Sunday — features NASCAR Late Models, Southeast Limited Late Model Series Pro and Challenger, Super Trucks, and Mini Stocks.

Just in case the crowd needed more excitement than you can get from a compressed schedule, David Ragan — who won the 2011 Coke Zero 400 at Daytona and the 2013 Aaron’s 499 at Talladega — is scheduled to compete alongside the other talented drivers taking to Myrtle Beach Speedway’s semi-banked asphaltic oval that spans 0.538 miles. Over the years, MBS has been the training ground for some of the sport’s biggest names, including Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, and all four generations of Pettys (Lee, Richard, Kyle, and Adam).

Here’s how tomorrow’s schedule is shaping up:

7:30 am – 8:00 am: NASCAR Late Models Drivers Meeting

8:00 am – 9:00 am: Super Truck Practice

In a fairy-tale-like finish at Homestead-Miami Speedway that concluded the revamped Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship, Kevin Harvick won the Ford EcoBoost 400 on Sunday to claim his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship — and CV Products Trackside was there, and nearly everywhere else Harvick and his Sprint Cup Series competitors raced throughout the 2014 campaign, for all the action.

To win the title, the Bakersfield, Calif., native needed to finish ahead of his fellow Championship 4 drivers, and a win was the only way that could have happened. Fellow Championship 4 driver Ryan Newman finished second, while Denny Hamlin finished seventh and Joey Logano ended the night in 16th. Looking at the numbers:

  • Harvick won 14% of the races he entered this year
  • His 5,043 Sprint Cup Series Points was one better than Ryan Newman (5,042)
  • Harvick finished the sean with 5 wins, 14 Top 5 finishes, and 20 Top 10 finishes
  • All told, Harvick and his team won $7,078,477 in prize money in 2014 (that’s an average of $196,624 per race)

A veteran of all three of NASCAR’s national series, Harvick joins Brad Keselowski and Bobby Labonte as only the third driver in history to win both the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship and NASCAR Nationwide Series crown (2006).

Things weren’t so dramatic in the contest for the NASCAR Nationwide Series crown. That’s because Chase Elliott — while adamant about going for one more win on Saturday at Homestead, where he was also looking to lock up the Sunoco Rookie of the Year Award — had already clinched the Nationwide crown the weekend before. Subsequently, non-points qualifying drivers Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson finished 1-2-3, while Elliott, who started in ninth, finished the 29th Annual Ford Ecoboost 300 in 17th place. The 28 points Elliott collected for the finish placed him atop the Nationwide Series leader board with 1,213 point total, which was 42 points better than Regan Smith (1,171), and 59 points better than Elliott Sadler and Brian Scott. Elliott, at 18 years, 11 months and 18 days, became the youngest and first rookie champion in NASCAR national series history.
