QUICK QUOTES AND NOTES

Kevin Harvick on avoiding trouble at Dover International Speedway -- "Things happen really fast. There really isn't a lot you can do. But, you can usually tell when something is getting ready to happen in front of you. The real trouble spots are driving in too deep under someone getting in and washing up or getting a bad push or loose off the corners. The track is self-cleaning with all the banking, so it's hard to get out of the way if you are in the groove and it all starts coming down the hill."

On Dover International Speedway -- "It has a roller-coaster sensation going into the corners. You slam down into a hole specially getting into turn one. The holes really make you trail over getting into the corners. Dover is a really fast race track."

* Miller will drive the REESE'S Chevrolet in three consecutive Busch Series events after Dover. His first race will be at Nashville Superspeedway.

* May 17-18 the REESE'S team tested at Kentucky Speedway. Miller drove the car during the test.

* Harvick has never had a DNF (did not finish) at Dover International Speedway.

* Harvick has yet to win a Busch Series pole this season. He has started from the pole twice at Dover International Raceway.

* Harvick's best finish at Dover is a third in June 2001.
