Kevin Harvick predicts Super Bowl winner, catches Clint Bowyer with brutal stray

Kevin Harvick has locked in his pick to win Sunday’s Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

Harvick said on this week’s “Happy Hour” podcast he’s going with the Chiefs to pull off an unprecedented three-peat, shouting out Kansas City general manager Brett Veach for previously coming on his show.

“I’m going with the Chiefs,” Harvick said. “… We did have the general manager on the show, Brett Veach and he’s a wizard.”

Harvick appreciates Veach and the work he’s done building the Chiefs. But there’s one thing he can’t understand.

“The only thing I don’t understand about Veach is how in the world can you be a Clint Bowyer fan?” Harvick said.

Kevin Harvick fires hilarious shot at FOX Sports broadcast partner Clint Bowyer

Bowyer, who calls NASCAR Cup Series races alongside Harvick for FOX Sports, is a massive Chiefs fan having grown up in Emporia, Kansas. So, you already know who Bowyer is pulling for Sunday in New Orleans. But something caught Harvick’s attention during the broadcast of this past Sunday’s Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium.

It was a child in the stands who was dozing off during the action. Harvick explained why he believes the youngster had to be a Bowyer fan.

“Did you guys see the Bowyer fan on TV,” Harvick asked his co-hosts Mamba Smith and Kaitlyn Vincie. “I was telling Clint after the commercial break, and they showed the Bowyer fan on TV sleeping, I said, ‘This is how you raced. It was so boring that fans would fall asleep because they didn’t know where you were running on the track and the next thing you know, you did your crash interview, and it woke everybody up.’

“If I don’t give him grief, somebody will — he’ll give me grief.”

It’s hard to come back from that if you’re Bowyer, for sure. But if his Chiefs pull off another Super Bowl victory, he’ll be just fine.
