About Kevin Harvick

For kindergarten graduation in 1980, Kevin Harvick received a go-kart from his parents and began his storied racing career. In the ten years that he competed on the go-kart circuit, Harvick earned seven National Championships and two Grand National Championships. Harvick left the go-kart circuit to begin competing in the Featherlite Southwest Series - a regional touring division of NASCAR - in 1992. He ran a limited schedule for two seasons while completing high school, running a full schedule in 1995 and earning Rookie of the Year accolades.

Deciding to pursue a career in racing, Harvick progressed to the Winston West Series. Two years later, Harvick won five races on his way to the 1998 Winston West Series Championship. A brief stint in the Craftsman Truck Series introduced Harvick to acclaimed car owner Richard Childress. Childress offered him a ride in the Busch Grand National Series. Harvick accepted.

In February of 2000, the blue-and-white ACDelco Monte Carlo pulled out of the garage area at Daytona International Speedway with rookie Kevin Harvick at the wheel. A remarkable two-year campaign in the Busch Series had begun. Harvick won three races and finished third in series points on his way to the Rookie of the Year title. On the track, he was known for his aggressive driving that led to a multitude of top-10 finishes. Off the track, his affable attitude and ever-present smile earned him the nickname "Happy."

Harvick began 2001 as the favourite for the Busch Series Championship title, and completed the year a Winston Cup superstar. After losing Dale Earnhardt in a wreck on the final lap of the Daytona 500, car owner Richard Childress asked Harvick to assume driving duties of the GM Goodwrench Service Plus Monte Carlo on the Winston Cup circuit. Despite the intense schedule and difficulty of driving full-time in two series, Harvick agreed and began the most incredible year of his life.

2001 brought Harvick two Winston Cup wins - the first coming in Harvick's third start - and a Busch Series Championship, which Harvick earned on the strength of 20 top-5 finishes and five wins. Harvick also earned "Rookie of the Year" honours on the Winston Cup circuit, finishing 9th in points.

Harvick became the first driver in NASCAR history to run full-time on both the Busch and Winston Cup series - a total of 70 races - in one season, and the first to be named Winston Cup rookie of the year the same season that he earned the Busch Series Championship.

Since his start in NASCAR's premier racing series four years ago, Harvick has had several career moments, including a win at the 2003 Brickyard 400. He is currently one of only thirteen drivers who has won a race in each of the National Series and is one of only two drivers who has won at least two races in each series.
