Kevin Harvick Biography

Kevin Harvick is one of the most popular and richest Race Car Driver who was born on December 8, 1975 in Bakersfield, California, United States. NASCAR racer who won the Daytona 500 in 2007 and was the Busch Series Champion in 2001 and 2006.

He stepped into the shoes of the great Dale Earnhardt on Richard Childress’ racing team.

At Martinsville, with four races to go in the Chase, Harvick was one of eight drivers still in the Chase. Halfway through the race, the field was checking up. Coming behind Harvick, Chase driver Matt Kenseth came in harder than the rest, and wrecked Harvick. Harvick later returned to the race but 42 laps down. Later during the race, he saw Kenseth approaching him in his mirror and purposely applied his brakes, trying to knock Kenseth’s radiator out as retaliation for the earlier incident. Harvick finished 33rd, while Kenseth earned a solid 6th-place finish. Harvick told reporters that if he does not advance to the next round of the Chase, he would make sure Kenseth would not make it to the Championship round at Homestead. This was the second time in 3-weeks that Kenseth was the center of attention, as he had physically attacked Brad Keselowski after a race at Charlotte two weeks prior to the incident with Harvick.

Four days after Harvick’s Daytona 500 win in his first race with Shell- Pennzoil as the primary sponsors, his team owner Richard Childress was asked by NASCAR to downsize the Shell logo on his fire suit and to have Harvick wear a more prominent Pennzoil logo, in an effort to play down any perceived competition with NASCAR fuel supplier Sunoco. This company asked NASCAR to talk with Childress after Harvick won both the Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup Series races wearing a prominent Shell logo on his fire suit. For the rest of the season, Harvick won the Sprint All-Star Race and finished 10th in points.

He married DeLana Linville on February 28, 2001. He has a son named Keelan.
