“I brought it up,” Harvick said. “From a driver's standpoint, the drivers have been on top of the world for the past several years, because there haven't been enough (marquee) drivers to go around, and teams have been doing whatever they had to do to get the drivers. The owners are back in charge, in my opinion.”
Harvick knows he's not alone in placing performance issues above personal gain.
“I don't think I'm the only one that would be in that category,” he said. “I think 90 per cent of the drivers are business-savvy enough, unlike other sports, to understand from a business standpoint where the world is, and sometimes you've got to tighten the belt and you've got to make sure everything is distributed so that everybody survives.
“If it's all about you, sometimes you get left on the boat.”
