Kevin Harvick debunks rumor of movement to Hendrick Motorsports

CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 17 (UPI) -- Stewart-Haas Racing announced that it would switch to Ford vehicles next year, since then one of its top drivers has been rumored to be jumping ship.

But the sources and reports are bogus according to Kevin Harvick.

Harvick took to Twitter Tuesday to refute another report that he would be moving to Hendrick Motorsports in 2017.

"Bunch of people making [expletive] up," Harvick tweeted.

Harvick also denied a similar report in February, when he said: "I don't see any reason why that would change. For me, this is the best position I've been in with my team," according to Fox Sports' Tom Jensen.

Harvick, 40, is the top-ranked driver in the 2016 NASCAR Spring Cup Series. He has one victory, five top-5 finishes, and nine top-10 finishes this season.

According to Tom Bowles, of the Front Stretch: "Harvick is mulling an offer to leave Stewart-Haas Racing."

"Multiple sources claimed to me at the track the driver's been approached with an offer to move to Hendrick Motorsports equipment in 2017, a deal that could insert him straight into Kasey Kahne's No. 5 car," Bowles wrote Monday.
