sip started internally at KHI as employees wondered about the future of the organization. "All the reactions have just been crazy as far as the way the rumors have spun out of control," Harvick said. "DeLana and I have just kind of sat back and laughed at a lot of them. But I feel like as a couple, and as a group at KHI, we've made a lot of good business decisions over the course of the years. And it's going to allow us time to explore other business opportunities as well." The decision to close KHI will put about 140 employees on the job market, but Harvick was hopeful many of them would be hired at RCR when the KHI Nationwide teams move to that building. The 70,000-square-foot KHI shop, located in Kernersville, N.C., will be sold, Harvick said. He said the manufacturing business at KHI had shut down over the last few months. "The racing portion of Kevin Harvick Incorporated, the only part that will still exist will operate out of RCR, but there won't be anything racing-wise operating out of our shop," he said. KHI fielded its first truck in 2002 and won 39 races in 343 entries. Ron Hornaday won two titles for the team in 2007 and 2009. The first Nationwide car was fielded in 2004, and KHI won 10 races in 347 entries. The Nationwide cars will be driven next year by Elliott Sadler, who currently drives the No. 2 Chevrolet, and the No. 33 will be filled by RCR's Cup drivers. Harvick said he'd like to enter more events, as well, and the team is trying to find sponsorship for Austin Dillon, Childress' grandson. But KHI's three trucks will likely disappear, putting Hornaday and Nelson Piquet Jr. out of work. The third KHI truck has been shared by several drivers. Harvick said it just didn't make sense to continue running the team anymore. "It takes an extreme amount of pressure off of me as a driver and an owner," Harvick said. "When you look at the personal time that we get back from DeLana and I's standpoint ... there are some normal things that you can do in life, too, that I hear, so hopefully we can experience some of those. "It'
