Like Father, Like Son: Keelan Harvick Dominates at Florence, Proving He’s NASCAR’s Next Big Thing

It’s been barely over a year since Kevin Harvick hung up his firesuit, but retirement hasn’t slowed down the Harvick racing dynasty. If anything, the next chapter is coming faster than anyone expected.

At just 12 years old, Keelan Harvick is already making waves in stock car racing, proving that the Harvick name isn’t leaving NASCAR anytime soon. Fresh off a dominant 2024 season, where he racked up 27 wins in 49 starts, the young prodigy is now collecting trophies in full-bodied stock cars—and doing it with the same grit and tenacity that made his father a legend.


Keelan Harvick’s Breakout Moment: Florence Motor Speedway Dominance

Last year, Keelan dipped his toes into Late Model racing, finishing eighth in his first Limited Late Model event at Florence Motor Speedway. Now, just three months later, the kid is winning outright.

In the Icebreaker Limited Late Model event at Florence, Keelan didn’t just win—he dominated.

🏆 Started from the pole
🏆 Led every lap
🏆 Crossed the finish line FOUR seconds ahead of second place

It wasn’t just a win—it was a statement.

The official Florence Motor Speedway Twitter account celebrated the performance, writing:

“Keelan Harvick leads the field of Limited Late Models to start the 2025 Season at Florence Motor Speedway!”

Meanwhile, proud dad Kevin Harvick kept it simple, sharing his excitement with:

“Proud of @KeelanHarvick!”


The Journey to NASCAR: Keelan Harvick’s Path to the Big Leagues

Keelan’s journey isn’t just about following in his father’s footsteps—he’s carving out his own legacy.

✔ 2024 INEX Young Lions Asphalt National Champion
✔ Multiple karting championships in the U.S. and Europe
✔ 27 wins in 49 races last season
✔ Now moving up to Pro Late Models on both the East and West Coast

For years, Harvick Sr. spoke cautiously about his son’s racing ambitions, saying they were taking it one step at a time. But after this latest victory, it’s clear that Keelan is more than just a young driver—he’s a serious contender for a future in NASCAR.

And perhaps most exciting of all?


Harvick vs. Harvick: A Family Rivalry in the Making?

As if Keelan’s rise wasn’t exciting enough, he’s now on a collision course to race against his own father.

While Kevin Harvick has been busy with his new role as a NASCAR analyst for FOX Sports, he still has unfinished business behind the wheel. With both father and son planning to enter select Late Model races, we could soon see a Harvick vs. Harvick showdown.

If history has taught us anything, Kevin Harvick doesn’t like losing. But against his own son?

The next chapter of the Harvick legacy just got even more exciting.


Will Keelan Harvick Be NASCAR’s Next Superstar?

The talent is there. The results are stacking up. The racing bloodline is undeniable.

At just 12 years old, Keelan Harvick is already proving he’s a force to be reckoned with. And if his trajectory continues, it won’t be long before he’s making headlines at Daytona, Talladega, and beyond.

Kevin Harvick’s racing legacy isn’t over—it’s just getting started.
