I have a theory on why Hendrick Motorsports asked Kevin Harvick to substitute for Kyle Larson at North Wilkesboro. Let's take a look at my updated NASCAR Power Rankings after an educational Dover race!

Be cool if Kyle Larson let him race the 5 for the actual all star race
I don’t think he’s eligible for the race
Harvick would have to race his way in since he’s not a full-time driver
@@EricEstepphonestly that’d be fine too
See Harvick racing anything would be a treat
Who said it’s larsons call?
People saying this is a FOX publicity stunt needs to stop
If you get a call from Rick Hendrick to drive one of his race cars you’d be silly to say no
Facts! People just wanna spread false narratives for clout
My theory is that Harvick gets the pole, replaces bowman next year and wins the 2025 championship with 13 wins
now that’s a wild theory
246 days left till 2025.
I can’t wait to see Kyle Larson race for the Indy 500 but also I can’t wait to see Kevin Harvick back behind the wheel of a rick Hendrick car something that is unheard of for him to do, but I’m glad that Kevin Harvey has an opportunity to get behind the wheel of the nextgen car
Hell yeah would love to c the closer n a car once again. One hell of a driver and a mountain of knowledge as well. Great driver feedback as well.
Clint bowyer is not gonna shut up about harvick if he’s not at the top of the board in practice
They need to take some team pictures with Harvick. I know him and Chase are well past 2021, but it would be interesting to have pictures of them as teammates, even if it’s just for one race.
Harvick has experience with this car, dale doesn’t. They may have asked Dale and he said no. Don’t assume.
Dale Jr did the Daytona test in the 5 car in 2022 though
Said this in a previous video but Christopher bell this year is like the last couple years Alex bowman. Starts super strong then starts to fall off farther in the year you go. But then clutches up in the early playoffs rounds.
When Kyle Larson said that during pre-race, I was going crazy!!
Damn right! Buschy will be getting those good finishes soon!
Harvick returning even just for practice is cool. 1st time Harvick will drive the 5 since the Nationwide Series days with JRM.
Hard to argue those rankings. Definitely was suprised like you said Chastain contended for the win at Dover the last two year but had to fight all day to finish 12th.
Tnn had Buddy Baker as an in car reporter during the 1992 Winston open, so it wouldn’t be anything new if they did have him try and commentary during any part of the weekend.
Dale Jr said on his podcast a couple weeks ago that he can’t make it to Wilkesboro that week / weekend. So most likely scheduling issues.
My very first thought on Sunday when I saw that Bell got caught up in the Dover wreck was, “No, he’s gonna be out of the power rankings for sure now!” I think your list is pretty spot on. Bowman is a suprising yet justified inclusion this week. I’m glad to see he’s finally coming back to form after the injury last year.
