The 2023 season marked an end of an era for NASCAR, as Kevin Harvick, the last active driver from the pre-playoff era retired. The legacy drivers became a broadcaster with Fox Sports and spent the first half of the 2024 season calling races of the drivers such as Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin he was racing for win the year before.
But there is a limit to the time a racing champion can stay away from racing. So as soon as the Fox’s broadcasts came to an end, he went back to the track. Kevin Harvick raced in a Supper Late Model event and recently a Late Model event, in the CARS Tour, that he co-owns with Dale Earnhardt Jr. While his 2024 racing schedule would be limited, the upcoming 2025 season will be packed.
While talking about his racing schedule in his Happy Hour Podcast, Harvick confirmed that he would race in 14 or 15 events in the 2026 season. These outings would be in Super Late Model, Late Model and Late Model Stock events. He is doing multiple events after understanding that he needs to race more to remain competitive.
If I'm going to race, I'm going to have to race more. So, I schedule for next year and I'm going to run 14 or 15 races as we go through the year, whether it be the super late model, the pro late model, late model stock. We're going to race next year because I can't just get throttled every time I go. If I'm going to go, I need to be competitive.Kevin Harvick said via Happy Hour podcast.
Kevin Harvick explains his CARS Tour debut
The veteran racer while talking about his CARS Tour debut, admitted that he initially didn’t had the pan to race at the event. He pointed out that he had a respectable finish in his first outing in a Super Late Model car.
Oh boy, I wasn't going to go there. That was somewhat respectable, but I had a lot of fun. You know, those cars are just so different than everything that I've raced for the last 20 years. So, I confirmed just the exact same thing that I did in the super late model.Kevin Harvick said.
The fans will be really happy with announcement as many really did miss the preselect of the closer in the Cup series this season with SHR. It would be really interesting to see how the racing career post-NASCAR would pan out for Kevin Harvick.
