Kevin Harvick was in Las Vegas to help promote the upcoming NASCAR Race in March.   He played craps at the Bellagio with some media members as well as a few lucky fans.  The craps play wasn’t for “real” money – each person started with a set number of chips and whomever had the highest chip count after 20 minutes won a prize.  The media winner took home an autographed diecast while the winning fan got a signed Kevin Harvick helmet.   Each of the fans who played also won tickets to the Vegas race.

Now, cut to the bad part for me….. there I was with my fancy-ass new recorder getting ready for my one-on-one interview with Harvick… I had all of my questions written down and had practiced them.   Note to self, no matter how fancy your new recorder is – it needs to be in record mode and not cue to capture audio.   I got home later to check the interview and the spot on the “tape” was blank!   I guess I got too nervous and rushed it when I stepped in front of Harvick.

Harvick and I talked mostly about Vegas – he grew up in California, raced here as a kid, took his late teens “right of passage” trip here and got married in Vegas.  This is second time back here since the banquet in December.

I even got Kevin to record an intro for our podcast…”I am Kevin Harvick and you’re listening to Out of the Tunnel.” – well I got Kevin to say that… the recording of it… not so much

Here are some of the pics and video that I did manage to “capture” of the craps game.
