Clearly, DeLana Harvick's heart is on the right place. The wife of Kevin, driver of the Stewart-Haas No. 19 Ford Fusion, offered some advice to Daniel Suarez and other young drivers following the Subway sponsorship controversy.

She's referring to the mess created when Suarez, who drives the No. 19 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, participated in a harmless skit in which he drove around in a golf cart and handed out Dunkin' Donuts. Subway was incensed since it sponsored Suarez, and dropped him as a result.
Harvick is absolutely right -- in the end, it's up to the driver to understand what he can and can't do, contractually -- even though JGR has said there was no prohibition for Suarez's participation. Here supporters applauded her stance .......

But her words could also be construed as implicit criticism of Suarez, and some fans are very unhappy:
