Kevin Harvick, No. 29 Impala SS, met with media members Bristol Motor Speedway and discussed racing on Bristol's new surface, Jacques Villeneuve coming to NASCAR and tomorrow night's race

Select quotes from driver interview

ON DIFFERENCE IN RACING WITH CHANGES TO BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY: "Well, I think that the groove is going to be wider than it ever has been before. You can race side-by-side. It is still going to be the same Bristol, you are just going to have more options to be able to pass somebody; you are going to have somewhere to go. They did a great job; I was pretty leery of it. This has been one of our best race tracks and one of our favorites to race on so I questioned it a little bit, but so far, everything has been really good."

ON THE TRACK BEING THREE FEET WIDER: "I didn't think three feet is going to make the difference, I think that it is just the progressive banking is what is going to make the difference. Race track is really smooth and they did a good job."

ON JACQUES VILLENEUVE COMING TO NASCAR: "I think it is all in how he wants to approach it and how he adapts to the car. This is a very different form of racing and the cars are very different."

ON DIFFICULTY IN TEAMS AND DRIVERS BEING PREPARED FOR BRISTOL AFTER DELAY OF MICHIGAN RACE: "I think everybody was pretty much prepared for Bristol. It is more getting prepared for California next week and after that."
