As NASCAR progresses, we have to keep an eye out for the next generation of racers, who are already in the making. NASCAR has been blessed with father-son duos in the past, be it Bobby and Davey Allison, Bill and Chase Elliott, David and Larry Pearson, or Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr; It’s a long list.!

Following the trend, now we have new father-son duos coming up, be it Kyle and Brexton Busch, Kyle and Owen Larson, or Kevin and Keelan Harvick. These kids have already won races and have set foot on their father’s path. Like recently, Keelan made Kevin Harvick proud as he won the Charlotte Motors Speedway race.

Kevin Harvick proud with son’s victory

The children already have wins under their belt. Brexton Busch is just 9, and when NASCAR closed in Pocono, he was taking sprints in the annual Hyper Racing 600 speed week. He’s also won various dirt races. Similarly, Owen Larson is also a champion in the making. Like father like son, it wasn’t long ago when he won his first-ever junior’s sprint race.

Harvick’s son, Keelan, is not far behind. He recently finished with a P1 in round 8 of the Cook Out Summer Shootout at Charlotte Motors Speedway. The series is also at its final stretch. Currently, Keelan is second in the points table, only three points behind the table topper. Having a son into racing must surely make The NASCAR veteran proud. As, to celebrate his victory Harvick posted the winning lap video  on Keelan on X and captioned the post, “Solid night for @KeelanHarvick P1 & P2 tonight.”

Look out for Keelan! As it won’t be long before we see him and Harvick chatting on the Happy Hour podcast. A natural-born racer, Keelan began competing at just seven years old. His impressive go-karting record suggests he’s determined to emulate his father’s success. Early in the year, he was also seen driving a stock car, hinting at future career plans.

Keelan has a fan base of his own who keeps cheering him on through his journey.

Fans applaud Keelan’s victory

The 12-year-old has already embarked on a racer’s journey. He is the son of a NASCAR Cup Series champion and 2 time Xfinity Series champion. Harvick has 60 wins in the Cup and 47 in Xfinity. He’s had more than 1,000 race starts. Growing up and breaking the legend’s records is what fans wish for Keelan. One fan wrote, “Keelan Harvick is a beast! I can’t wait to see him break all his Dad’s records in NASCAR.” Another one on the same lines as he congratulated Harvick; he wrote, “Bravo Pops your boy is on a trajectory of success….”

The youngster has several wins in legends racing and go karts. He is currently racing in the Junior series. Fans see a bright future ahead of him. Harvick’s X post was filled with both Keelan’s and Harvick’s fans, congratulating and wishing him a long racing career.  One fan wrote, “Great job! Keelan keep driving hard & you’ll go far.” Hyping the youngster, another wrote, “Heck yeah!!! Go Keelan 😊”

One fan also took a jibe at Bubba Wallace. Bubba recently posted a photo of him finishing in P2 in a Legends race. While the #23 is riding the consistency wave, some fans trolled him over posting about his second-place finish in a Legends race. The trolling seemed to have continued under Harvick’s post. Where a fan made a connection between the two races and asked a sarcastic question mocking Bubba. He wrote, “This the same races where Bubba could only manage P2?”

The NASCAR communities cannot wait for all these youngsters to carry their father’s legacies. Without putting any legacy pressure, we would like to wish them the best of luck in their future racing careers.
