CONCORD, N.C. (AP) -- Kevin Harvick has signed a multiyear contract extension with Richard Childress Racing. 

Terms were not disclosed by the team, which said Saturday that Harvick will continue to drive the No. 29 Chevrolet. Harvick
stepped into that car in 2001 following the death of Dale Earnhardt. 

Harvick has 12 career Cup victories, including the 2007 Daytona 500. His victory at Talladega last month snapped a 115-winless streak. 

The Talladega victory came the same week that sponsor Shell/Pennzoil was leaving his No. 29 team. Team owner Richard
Childress says he's talking to "three or four companies" about sponsorship.
