The playoff chaos has somewhat overshadowed the fact that Kevin Harvick only has eight races left in his Cup Series career. Known as a vocal figure in NASCAR, Harvick’s outspoken nature has often clashed with NASCAR’s safety measures. Yet, his on-track excellence and off-track antics have endeared him to fans who will dearly miss him.

Amid the emotional backdrop of Kevin Harvick’s impending retirement, NASCAR gears up for races in Bristol, featuring both Xfinity and Cup playoffs. It’s not just Kevin who holds a special place in fans’ hearts; it’s the entire Harvick family. During an Xfinity race at Bristol, a remarkable incident involving DeLana Harvick’s protégé stole the spotlight and ignited a surge of emotions on the track.

DeLana Harvick stands out among NASCAR wives as she frequently joins races, wearing a custom-made fire suit atop the pit box. She’s the daughter of former Busch Series driver John Linville, though racing herself wasn’t her calling.

Her career took a different path as she initially worked in public relations with Randy LaJoie and Jeff Gordon. It was during this time that she crossed paths with Kevin. DeLana and Kevin tied the knot in 2001, shortly after Kevin’s Cup debut. They shared a passion for racing, leading them to establish their own race team.

DeLana played a significant role as co-owner and manager of Kevin Harvick Incorporated, a racing team in NASCAR’s Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series. In 2010, the couple founded the Kevin Harvick Foundation (KHF), supporting programs that benefit children across the United States.
