Continued from B3
All told, he made 69 starts
and crisscrossed the country,
often borrowing planes from
Childress or teammate Mike
Skinner, to get between tracks
when the two series raced at
different venues.
“Racing that much really hid
me from a lot of things because
of the fact I was so busy. It re-
ally allowed me to kind of hide
under a rock,” Harvick said.
“But 2002 was when I realized

“Being able to still learn and
get information, or being in
the big leagues and having
those different experiences,
going to different ballparks
last year is definitely helpful
for me moving forward.”
Lewis
“I thought I was going to
have that opportunity last year.
But being able to still learn
and get information, or being
in the big leagues and having
those different experiences, go-
ing to different ballparks last
year is definitely helpful for me
moving forward,” Lewis said.
“It has done a lot for my confi-
dence level and feeling like I’ve
been around a while, even in
different capacities, whether it
be practices, whether it be just
meeting rooms, day-to-day
has definitely helped my confi-
dence as well.”
Lewis finished last season
hitting .262 with 11 home
runs and 28 RBIs. His OPS of
.801 was very good, but his 71
strikeouts were higher than
desired.
Lewis also struggled badly as
the league began to adjust over
the final month. He hit .373
for the first 28 games with six
home runs and 18 RBIs. Over
his final 30 games, Lewis hit
.154 and struck out 43 times.
Some of that was to be ex-
pected. Manager Scott Servais
DEALS
— Kyle Lewis,
Seattle Mariners outfielder
said the message to Lewis was
to focus on whether his process
and approach at the plate were
remaining consistent, not on
the numbers.
“That’s what we’re really
harping on with guys like Kyle,
all of our guys really, under-
standing the batting average is
going to come and go,” Servais
said. “That’s really what you
find out of course this season is
are guys mentally able to han-
dle the ups and downs. Now,
the more you go through it, the
more qualified and capable you
are to handle it, but you need
to go through it.
“A lot of our guys haven’t
gone through 162 games of a
big-league season yet. It’s just
where we’re at in our develop-
ment.”
One area where Lewis
wanted to get better this offsea-
son was on the defensive side,
specifically with his throw-
ing. He had some spectacular
moments in center field as a
rookie but last season was his
first opportunity to play the
position full time.
“If you look around the
league, there’s not many cen-
ter fielders that throw people
out. They’re typically out there,
they can cover a lot of ground,
they’re very athletic, they make
plays,” Servais said. “We’ve seen
Kyle do all those things but the
throwing arm kind of gets for-
gotten and he doesn’t want to
be that player. He wants to be a
complete player.”
ered all that stuff up.”
Harvick spent 13 years driv-
ing for Richard Childress Rac-
ing and recognizes now how
critical that 2001 season was. It
was imperative that the organi-
zation keep Earnhardt’s car on
track all season and the Atlanta
victory was a morale boost for a
heartbroken crew.
“Knowing now what it meant
to the sport, and just that mo-
ment in general of being able
to carry on, was so important,”
Harvick said.
He moved to Stewart-Haas
Racing in 2014, the year he won
his only Cup title, but he’s been
a contender every season. He
won a series-high nine races last
year but failed to advance to the
championship finale.
Five races into this new sea-
son, Harvick heads into the an-
niversary of his first Cup victory
looking for some of that suc-
cess from last year. He’s led only
17 laps so far this season, a far
cry from the 318 laps he’d led
through five races a year ago.
He does sit seventh in the
standings with four top-10 fin-
ishes. But the rest of the SHR
stable is 20th or lower in points
and the organization doesn’t
seem to have the same pace it
did in 2020.
SHR is adapting to NA-
SCAR’s inspection crackdown
on the shape of the rear wheel
wells, an area SHR had appar-
ently achieved significant gains
by taking advantage of loop-
holes. Harvick crew chief Rod-
ney Childers told SiriusXM
NASCAR Radio the inspection
changes cost the team 70 counts
of downforce.
“Every year, you don’t re-
ally know what to expect when
things change,” Harvick said. “I
think, for us, we just missed it
on all levels with all the different
things that are going on from
last year, so I think whether we
overthought it or just missed it
has yet to be seen.”

Australian Jones ties course-record 61 at Honda Classic
— Matt Jones’ opening round at the Honda Classic was remark-
able. Jones tied the course record Thursday on a typically windy
day at PGA National with a bogey-free 9-under 61 giving him a
three-shot lead. He matched the mark set by Brian Harman in
the second round in 2012, and was one shot better than the fi-
nal-round 62 that Tiger Woods posted that year. “That’s an in-
credible round of golf,” said Lee Westwood, who opened with
an even-par 70. “Could be the round of the year.” All told, there
have been roughly 6,000 tournament rounds at the Honda since
it moved to PGA National in 2007. None was better than the one
Thursday from Jones, an Australian ranked No. 83 in the world.
Russell Henley and Aaron Wise shot 64s, matching the best score
at the Honda by anyone — Jones excluded — since Rory McIlroy
and Russell Knox had 63s in 2014. And Henley and Wise still
walked off the course three shots back. U.S. Ryder Cup captain
Steve Stricker, Scott Harrington, Kevin Chappell, Joseph Bram-
lett and Cameron Davis shot 66. Defending champion Sungjae
Im opened with a 68.

Former Ducks standout Chung announces retirement
from NFL — Patrick Chung was expected to return to play in
2021 after opting to sit out the 2020 NFL season because of the
coronavirus pandemic. The New England Patriots’ safety has
changed his mind and announced his retirement. Chung made
the announcement on his Instagram account Thursday morn-
ing. Chung, 33, said he decided to “hang up the cleats” and “it’s
time to start a new life” after winning three Super Bowl titles
with the Patriots. The former Oregon Ducks star finishes his
11-year career with 778 total tackles, 21 tackles for loss, 11 inter-
ceptions and five fumbles recovered. Chung was the Patriots’
second-round pick (No. 34) in the 2009 NFL draft. Chung played
10 of his 11 years in the league with the Patriots, with one year in
Philadelphia.
