Kevin Harvick knows that he wouldn’t have the life he does today without grassroots asphalt racing – but current and future generations may not have the same opportunities.
Today, Kevin joins the Dale Jr Download to explain his plan to rebuild grassroots short track racing under the CARS Tour banner, and how his passion to help other drivers build brands and successful careers is what continues to fuel him during retirement from NASCAR.
Since retiring from full-time Cup Series driving, Harvick says he’s busier than ever, and he walks through how his management business and hands-on work with the tour have grown. The CARS Tour is expanding nationally with new tours across the country, plus the CARS STARS Super Tour.
Harvick explains why short track racing became so fragmented over the past two decades and how one set of rules could give racers a clear path forward. He also covers how to get drivers to promote themselves, and what teams can realistically earn. The conversation then turns personal, with Harvick talking about racing late model stocks, learning to compete without worrying about results, and racing against his son Keelan. Dale wraps up with a recap of the new CARS Tour structure so fans can see how every series fits together.
