Changes at Kevin Harvick Inc.

It looks like Kevin Harvick has lost his patience with Burney Lamar.
After starting the season so promising with a second-place finish at Daytona, Lamar is out of the No. 77 Busch Series car for KHI and Bobby Lanbonte will be in it for the remaining Cup and Busch Series companion races.
"KHI and Dollar General had high expectations for the No. 77 when the season started," said Kevin Harvick, co-owner and CEO of Kevin Harvick Inc. "Both Dollar General and KHI have been very patient throughout the season. This is a performance-based business and unfortunately we have not seen the level of improvement or the results we had hoped for."
Harvick said Lamar will be back in the No. 77 car for the Busch Series race at Memphis Motorsports Park on Oct. 28. Labonte will be in the car for the other five remaing Busch Series races starting Saturday at Kansas Speedway.
"In an effort to evaluate the performance of the No. 77 team and get a jump start on the 2007 season, a change had to be made. We felt like we received good direction and feedback when Jeff Burton stepped behind the wheel of the 77 at New Hampshire in July," Harvick said. "We look forward to learning even more with Bobby over the remainder of the year, to continue building a solid foundation and make this team stronger."
