2017 Fantasy Recap - During the 2017 season, Harvick was very good overall. He wasn't always a top tier contender for wins, especially early in the season. He had that really strong race at Atlanta, but then he was just top 10 good or so for awhile. I think SHR switching to Ford in 2017, it was a huge transition period for Harvick and everyone else at SHR. So it only made sense that the drivers and teams were a little behind the pitch. But as the season progressed, Harvick started to get on a roll. He ended up winning 2 races and was actually outperforming drivers that were consistently outrunning him early in the year. He punched his ticket to Homestead with a win at Texas and could had a shot at winning, if things played out a little differently. No shame in the season that he had!
Strong Tracks - Homestead, Texas, Phoenix, Michigan and Pocono
Weak Tracks - Daytona and Martinsville

2018 Fantasy Outlook - I have high hopes for Kevin Harvick in 2018! I don't think SHR will start off as slow as they did in 2017. Now that they have a year at Ford, I think they will have a better idea where they need to improve and work on that to have more speed off the truck in 2018. As usaul, you can expect Harvick to be very strong at every type of track. He will be strong on the intermediate tracks and most likely offer possible winning upside most races. He will be really solid on the flats tracks. In my opinion, he is the most underrated driver in the series on them. Phoenix, Richmond, Indy and Pocono. He is pretty phenomenal on all those tracks. As for weak links, I would say that the plate tracks and maybe the road courses. I think this can be said about most drivers out there. It is so unpredictable, anything can go wrong. He's a skilled driver at both kind of tracks, but far from flawless though.
