Harvick says Toyota is ahead of everybody on horsepower
RCR driver Kevin Harvick believes that Toyota has a clear horsepower advantage over the other manufacturers.
?I think everybody in the garage is down on horsepower compared to the Toyota guys,? Harvick said at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. ?In the Nationwide Series it?s almost a joke as to how much more power they make than everybody else. I feel good that our team has made gains in the engine department, power-wise, but it?s hard when you?re almost racing restrictor-plate races every week, and you?re racing against cars that are making 20-plus more horsepower than you. It?s hard to keep up.?
The same applies to the Sprint Cup Series, Harvick said.
?They have the same power advantage over there that they have in the Nationwide garage,? Harvick said. ?It doesn?t show up as much because there?s more good teams to overcome that. Right now, everybody?s trying to play a little catch-up on the power side of it to get to where they need to be. Those engine packages are all brand new. Right now it?s not good for anybody in the garage unless you have a Toyota.?
