Harvick Leads Green By One with Eight To Go

As the 2001 NASCAR Busch Series season enters the final eight races, five drivers are still eligible to win a one-year supply of Busch Beer for their team in the Busch Top-10 promotion. The driver/team with the most top-10 finishes at the end of the season will win a year's supply of Busch Beer, courtesy of series sponsor Anheuser-Busch.

Kevin Harvick has grabbed 20 top-10 finishes so far, which is only one more than defending Busch Series champion Jeff Green. Jason Keller is currently third, followed by Greg Biffle and Elton Sawyer.

Following 25 of 33 races, the five drivers still in the running for the award are:


Driver                       Top 10s            Percentage
1. Kevin Harvick              20              80%
2. Jeff Green                  19               76%
3. Jason Keller               17               68%
4. Greg Biffle                  16              64%
5. Elton Sawyer              15              60%
