Kevin Harvick might not have won his final season in NASCAR. But he certainly got a farewell to remember for ages. The event had everything that an accomplished driver like Harvick could hope for.
Harvick got a standing ovation from every racer on the circuit that day. This showed the kind of impact Harvick had on other drivers. The farewell also saw his kids expressing their love for him and the kind of father he had been. Harvick has rarely shown his emotional side to the public, but all this was enough to make Harvick cry.
Harvick’s breaking into the racing scene has been nothing short of dramatic. Back in 2001, 26-year-old Harvick was thrust to replace the legendary driver, Dale Earnhardt, in the Cup Series. The reason behind this was the untimely death of the racer in the first race of the season.
Since then, Harvick has not looked back at all. And today, Harvick is seen as one of the greatest drivers on the NASCAR roster.
It Has Been A Blast Old Boy.

Later on, when Harvick was peaking during his career, he saw his team making similar sacrifices so that he could remain the fastest on track. Something for which he has always been grateful for.
