Kevin Harvick Son: Keelan Harvick
Kevin’s son, Keelan, born on July 8, 2012, shares the same passion as his father for Kart racing.
In a podcast on the Youth, Inc. podcast, Kevin disclosed that his son’s interest in Karting began when the pandemic shut down most of the recreation and entertainment options.
Harvick admitted being tough at the beginning with his son’s training, but as time went by, Keelan significantly improved over a short period of time.
Today, Keelan is one of the most promising rising stars in the kart racing scene.
He has shown his talents multiple times on the tracks behind the wheels.
In April 2021, the father-son duo even competed in the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series race.
At only 10 years old, Keelan has already won multiple titles like 22 USPKS Nat (Mini), 21 SKUSA SuperNats, USPKS Nat, CKNA GrandNats 5, IAME GrandNat (Micro).
We can find Keelan on Instagram with the handle @keelanharvick, where he frequently shares pictures from his races.
