STATEMENT FROM RICHARD CHILDRESS REGARDING NASCAR'S "PARKING" OF KEVIN
HARVICK

MARTINSVILLE, VA. (April 14, 2002) - "NASCAR had to do something in response
to Kevin's actions during the Truck race yesterday, but I think their
response was completely wrong.  I have not seen the clip of Kevin's actions
during the Truck race so I can't comment on what he did. He has had problems
in the Busch and Truck Series and had been on probation for his actions, but
the decision to 'park' him during the Winston Cup race is wrong.  NASCAR
should keep the actions and punishments separate to each series.  This
should be Kevin's punishment only, but what NASCAR is doing is punishing the
tens of thousands of race fans who probably didn't know until they got to
the track this morning that Kevin won't be allowed to race today.  NASCAR is
also punishing the entire No. 29 team and all of Richard Childress Racing
for one person's actions.  NASCAR is also punishing GM Goodwrench Service,
who has been nothing but loyal to RCR and the sport for many years.  This is
only my opinion.

"I will sit down with Kevin Monday morning to discuss what happened and how
we will proceed from here."
