Texas Motor Speedway has been the playground for one of NASCAR’s biggest fights. Back in 2014, Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski got into a hardcore fight, which was surprisingly started not by Gordon but by Kevin Harvick. Keselowski had tried to push for the win and instead managed to cut Gordon’s tires. That infuriated the Hendrick Motorsport driver beyond belief, as he marched out of his vehicle and went to find Keselowski. The crew members and officials were seen blocking Gordon’s path to grab a hold of Keselowski and everything looked to be calm.

Gordon was pulled to the ground by the surge of crew members throwing punches left and right, but he never let go of Keselowski’s collar and took him down as well. Throughout the chaos, Keselowski received a thunderstorm of slaps across the head from other people. Harvick also reappeared in the mix and grabbed Keselowski’s head for brief few seconds. NASCAR FANS REACT TO THROWBACK VIDEO OF THE ICONIC FIGHT The iconic fight remains embedded in people’s memory to this day, while many find it hilarious a lot of people also happen to crown Harvick with the phrase, “Harvicking,” based on how he technically started the scuffle in the first place.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Brad Keselowski?</strong></h2>
If the 2023 Cup Series season was anything to go by, Brad Keselowski looks to be on his way to becoming one of the few people to taste success in NASCAR's highest division as a driver and a team owner. The veteran motorsports athlete is a former Cup champion and currently, a driver-co-owner of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/roush-fenway-racing/">Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing</a>. Several fans and pundits suggest that his joining the team has massively elevated RFK and Keselowski only just seems to be getting started. He has won several honors in his racing career and is unsurprisingly one of the wealthiest drivers in the competition today.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brad Keselowskiâ€™s Investments</strong></h2>
In July 2021, it was announced that Brad Keselowski would be joining Roush Fenway Racing as a minority team owner and would be replacing <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ryan-newman/">Ryan Newman</a> to drive the No. 6 vehicle. Subsequently, Keselowski debuted as a driver-owner in the 2022 season with the team that was rebranded as Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing. After the new name and logo for the team was unveiled in November 2021 at the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/charlotte-motor-speedway/">Charlotte Motor Speedway</a>, the 2012 Cup Series Champion spoke of the rebrand in detail. He mentioned how the rebrandÂ <em>"is more than a fancy new logo".Â </em>
<p style="text-align: left"><em>"It's an acknowledgment to our heritage, a renewed commitment to our people and a stake in the ground that says we are here to operate top-tier race teams in the sport of NASCAR for decades to come,"</em> he added.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Brad Keselowski NASCAR Career Stats</strong></h2>
Brad Keselowski's career graph till now certainly speaks volumes. He has clinched 35 wins in 521 races in the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-cup-series/">Cup Series</a> along with 249 Top-10 positions and 18 poles.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brad Keselowskiâ€™s Records</b></h2>
Given how charismatic Keselowski is behind the wheel, it's only natural that the driver has garnered quite some accolades in his career till now. After he clinched his sixth career win at the Alabama track of Talladega Superspeedway, the RFK team owner tied the iconic <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jeff-gordon/">Jeff Gordon</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dale-earnhardt-jr/">Dale Earnhardt Jr</a> for second-most wins of all time.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brad Keselowski </b><b>Major Achievements and AwardsÂ </b><b>Â </b></h2>
The RFK Racing driver and co-owner is one of the most experienced racers in the NASCAR Cup Series today. He has been competing in the series since 2008 and in that time, has won countless honors. He was the 2012 Cup Series champion and the 2010 Nationwide Series champion. He has won the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/coca-cola-600/">Coca-Cola 600</a>, Brickyard 400, and the Advance Auto Parts Clash one time each. When it comes to awards, Keselowski won the Nationwide Series Most Popular Driver award three times straight from 2008 to 2010. He has also been named in NASCAR's 75 Greatest Drivers list.

Apart from that, the driver has shown his dominance by appearing in the Cup Series playoffs 12 times, 11 out of which have been in consecutive years.

Keselowski's career reached its peak with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-penske/">Roger Penske</a>'s team but right now, the veteran racer is putting in the effort to take Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing to the heights it once achieved. After the 2012 Cup Series champion joined in 2022, there has been a visible improvement in the team's performance. They finished the season with 3 wins in 2023, including a famous 1-2 victory at Daytona.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brad Keselowskiâ€™s Charity and Foundation</b></h2>
Brad Keselowski is the founder of the Brad Keselowski's Checkered Flag Foundation. The organization was founded in 2010 after the former Cup Series champion visited the Walter Reed Medical Center in 2009. He was inspired to give back to the brave women and men who served the country and were injured in the process. According to the website, the foundation has raised $3.8 million and helped out over 250 individuals and organizations. It's not only war veterans that the charity supports, but first responders and active military personnel as well.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brad Keselowski Controversies</b></h2>
He might be one of the most talented and consistent drivers in NASCAR but that does not mean that Brad Keselowski has not seen his fair share of troubles. One of the biggest penalties he has faced came in 2022 when the RFK Racing man was fined a whopping 100 points by NASCAR. After the Atlanta race that year, officials found a tail panel modification that was illegal and cost the veteran dearly.

Keselowski was on fire the season he won his first and only Cup Series championship. However, he was involved in a controversial decision by NASCAR which involved not bringing out the caution despite there being an accident on the track. The then-Penske Racing driver hit the wall late during the race but NASCAR surprised several fans and insiders by opting against bringing out the caution as Keselowski kept his car going.

<em>â€œObviously, weâ€™re monitoring that, the 6 is in the fence. Brad is listening through his spotter and race control that we needed the 6 to get down on the apron. Once he did that, it means heâ€™s kind of out of harmâ€™s way and heâ€™s driving around. If he comes to a complete stop down on the apron at that point, then weâ€™re going to have to go get him,â€Â </em>NASCAR official Elton Sawyer had said of the incident.

[caption id="attachment_553763" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-553763 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210216112231/GettyImages-156521363.jpg" alt="Brad Keselowski - NASCAR Cup Series" width="1920" height="1280" /> HOMESTEAD, FL - NOVEMBER 16: Brad Keselowski, driver of the #2 Miller Lite Dodge, stands in the garage during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 16, 2012 in Homestead, Florida. (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images)[/caption]

The racing veteran provided a moment of comic relief in the 2023 Cup Series season at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in Daytona. The red flag had fallen and under those circumstances, the cars were meant to be stationary in the pits. However, the #6 was seen going around in circles. Confusion and humor gripped the others on track and the fans but it was later revealed that Keselowski's car had caught on fire and he had no choice but to do what he did to put it out.

The whole controversy surrounding the car inspections is also one of the infamous moments of Brad Keselowski's career. Both his and teammate Joey Logano's cars failed pre-race inspections as NASCAR found something wrong with their rear-end housings, and confiscated them. The Penske Racing cars still managed to finish in the top 10 but the penalties were then levied. The 2012 Cup Series champion was not a happy man at the time as he lashed out at NASCAR for being partial against his team.

<em>"Our guys are innovative and we're looking at the rules, looking at areas where we can get an edge like everybody else," </em>Keselowski had said at the time<em>. "I don't think there's anything we did wrong. It's obviously a judgment."</em>

Despite these incidents, Keselowski has managed to entertain fans outside of the racing world, by dabbling his foot into the entertainment industry.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Brad Keselowski in Media</b></h2>
The former Cup Series champion made a cameo alongside Joey Logano in the movie 'Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!' He also joined several other NASCAR stars to appear in the 2017 movie 'Logan Lucky' and he has appeared several times on the sitcom 'Sullivan &amp; Son.'

He has clinched 35 wins in 521 races in the Cup Series along with 249 Top-10 positions and 18 poles.

As for his Craftsman Truck Series career, Keselowski has one win in 66 races, 15 Top-10s and one pole position. In his NASCAR Cup Series career, the driver has an average start and an average finish of 12.8 and 14.09, respectively. Brad Keselowskiâ€™s Records Given how charismatic Keselowski is behind the wheel, it&#8217;s only natural that the driver has garnered quite some accolades in his career till now. After he clinched his sixth career win at the Alabama track of Talladega Superspeedway, the RFK team owner tied the iconic Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr for second-most wins of all time. Brad Keselowski Major Achievements and AwardsÂ Â  The RFK Racing driver and co-owner is one of the most experienced racers in the NASCAR Cup Series today. He has been competing in the series since 2008 and in that time, has won countless honors. He was the 2012 Cup Series champion and the 2010 Nationwide Series champion. He has won the Coca-Cola 600, Brickyard 400, and the Advance Auto Parts Clash one time each. When it comes to awards, Keselowski won the Nationwide Series Most Popular Driver award three times straight from 2008 to 2010. He has also been named in NASCAR&#8217;s 75 Greatest Drivers list. Apart from that, the driver has shown his dominance by appearing in the Cup Series playoffs 12 times, 11 out of which have been in consecutive years. Keselowski&#8217;s career reached its peak with Roger Penske&#8216;s team but right now, the veteran racer is putting in the effort to take Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing to the heights it once achieved. After the 2012 Cup Series champion joined in 2022, there has been a visible improvement in the team&#8217;s performance. They finished the season with 3 wins in 2023, including a famous 1-2 victory at Daytona. The motorsports veteran is also the owner and founder of Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing. As per the official website, &#8220;Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing (KAM) is a vertically integrated simulation and engineering through serial production manufacturing company with Additive Manufacturing (LPBF-M) and CNC Capabilities.&#8221;Â  DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA &#8211; JANUARY 12: Brad Keselowski, driver of the #6 RFK Racing Ford looks on in the garage during the NASCAR Next Gen Test at Daytona International Speedway on January 12, 2022 in Daytona Beach, Florida. (Photo by James Gilbert/Getty Images) Brad Keselowskiâ€™s Charity and Foundation Brad Keselowski is the founder of the Brad Keselowski&#8217;s Checkered Flag Foundation. The organization was founded in 2010 after the former Cup Series champion visited the Walter Reed Medical Center in 2009. He was inspired to give back to the brave women and men who served the country and were injured in the process. According to the website, the foundation has raised $3.8 million and helped out over 250 individuals and organizations. It&#8217;s not only war veterans that the charity supports, but first responders and active military personnel as well. Brad Keselowski Controversies He might be one of the most talented and consistent drivers in NASCAR but that does not mean that Brad Keselowski has not seen his fair share of troubles. One of the biggest penalties he has faced came in 2022 when the RFK Racing man was fined a whopping 100 points by NASCAR. After the Atlanta race that year, officials found a tail panel modification that was illegal and cost the veteran dearly. Keselowski was on fire the season he won his first and only Cup Series championship. However, he was involved in a controversial decision by NASCAR which involved not bringing out the caution despite there being an accident on the track. The then-Penske Racing driver hit the wall late during the race but NASCAR surprised several fans and insiders by opting against bringing out the caution as Keselowski kept his car going. â€œObviously, weâ€™re monitoring that, the 6 is in the fence. Brad is listening through his spotter and race control that we needed the 6 to get down on the apron. Once he did that, it means heâ€™s kind of out of harmâ€™s way and heâ€™s driving around. If he comes to a complete stop down on the apron at that point, then weâ€™re going to have to go get him,â€Â NASCAR official Elton Sawyer had said of the incident. HOMESTEAD, FL &#8211; NOVEMBER 16: Brad Keselowski, driver of the #2 Miller Lite Dodge, stands in the garage during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 16, 2012 in Homestead, Florida. (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images) The racing veteran provided a moment of comic relief in the 2023 Cup Series season at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in Daytona. The red flag had fallen and under those circumstances, the cars were meant to be stationary in the pits. However, the #6 was seen going around in circles. Confusion and humor gripped the others on track and the fans but it was later revealed that Keselowski&#8217;s car had caught on fire and he had no choice but to do what he did to put it out. The whole controversy surrounding the car inspections is also one of the infamous moments of Brad Keselowski&#8217;s career. Both his and teammate Joey Logano&#8217;s cars failed pre-race inspections as NASCAR found something wrong with their rear-end housings, and confiscated them. The Penske Racing cars still managed to finish in the top 10 but the penalties were then levied. The 2012 Cup Series champion was not a happy man at the time as he lashed out at NASCAR for being partial against his team. &#8220;Our guys are innovative and we&#8217;re looking at the rules, looking at areas where we can get an edge like everybody else,&#8221; Keselowski had said at the time. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s anything we did wrong. It&#8217;s obviously a judgment.&#8221; Despite these incidents, Keselowski has managed to entertain fans outside of the racing world, by dabbling his foot into the entertainment industry. Brad Keselowski in Media The former Cup Series champion made a cameo alongside Joey Logano in the movie &#8216;Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!&#8217; He also joined several other NASCAR stars to appear in the 2017 movie &#8216;Logan Lucky&#8217; and he has appeared several times on the sitcom &#8216;Sullivan &amp; Son.&#8217; Brad Keselowski Social Media Accounts Brad Keselowski is fairly active on his social media handles, especially Twitter.

Jimmie Johnson

Motorsport is one of the most competitive sports in the world where consistency is something that does not come by easy. But once in a while, there comes an athlete who embodies that consistency in a way that has never been done before. NASCAR is no different and in it, Jimmie Johnson is the epitome of consistency. The former Hendrick Motorsports driver is a member of an elite club that comprises only Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt apart from him. That is the 7-time Cup Series champions club. A feat so incredibly difficult that it is almost unthinkable in today&#8217;s world. Who is Jimmie Johnson? For people who have been fans of NASCAR for a decent amount of time, this man needs no introduction. His career is defined by his 7 Cup Series championships and countless race wins. Born on September 17, 1975, the co-owner of Legacy Motor Club has done it all as a driver in the sport and more. He is the only driver ever to have won a whopping 5 NASCAR Cup Series championships on the bounce, which, in a lot of people&#8217;s opinions, makes him better than Petty or Earnhardt. That&#8217;s still a big matter of debate but there is no denying that Jimmie Johnson is one of the greatest motorsports athletes the world has ever seen. INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA &#8211; JULY 29: Jimmie Johnson, driver of the #48 Carvana Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, looks on during practice for NTT IndyCar Series Gallagher Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 29, 2022 in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Logan Riely/Getty Images) Jimmie Johnsonâ€™s early life Johnson was born in El Cajon, California, to Catherine Ellen and Gary Ernest Johnson. Before he fully got his foot into the world of motorsports, he was a student at the Granite Hills High School and he showed a penchant for different kinds of sports from a very young age. He was quite comfortable in the water as he showed an affinity towards swimming and water polo as a kid. But he always raced. At that age, Johnson used to participate in motorbike racing and he was quite good at it. His switch to racing stock cars began when he shifted from bikes to buggies and trucks on off-road tracks. 1997 was the year Johnson tried asphalt racing. Just a year after his debut in asphalt racing in the American Speed Association (ASA) competitions, the 7-time Cup Series winner made his debut in what is now the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Four years later, the legendary stock car racer made his debut in the NASCAR Cup Series, and the rest, as they say, is history. But it was not just NASCAR that was of interest to him. He is a proper athlete who has competed in different kinds of sports. Some of the other disciplines that have attracted his attention are endurance events like triathlons and long-distance running. 2019 saw Johnson finish the iconic Boston Marathon with a time of 3:09:07. It&#8217;s safe to say that he is a multifaceted athlete with a lot of talent apart from motor racing but he is not the only one in his family with racing acumen.

(Photo by James Gilbert/Getty Images) Jimmie Johnson&#8217;s wife and children Jimmie Johnson is the oldest of 3 brothers born to Catherine and Gary. His two younger brothers are named Jarit Johnson and Jessie Johnson, both of whom tested the waters in the competitive world of motorsports as they made numerous starts in the Off-Road Championships. But they were not as successful as their older brother. The 7-time Cup Series champion married Chandra Janway on December 10, 2004. The couple had known each other since 2002. They have two daughters, Genevieve, 12, and Lydia, 9. The family is a happy one, but they were faced with a tragedy in 2023. AVONDALE, ARIZONA &#8211; NOVEMBER 08: Jimmie Johnson, driver of the #48 Ally Chevrolet, poses on the grid with his wife Chandra Johnson and their daughters Lydia Norriss Johnson and Genevieve Johnson prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Season Finale 500 at Phoenix Raceway on November 08, 2020 in Avondale, Arizona.Jimmie Johnson is scheduled to retire from full-time NASCAR racing after 2020. (Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images) The lives of Johnson and his wife were completely turned upside down on June 26, shortly before the first-ever Chicago Street Race. That evening in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Chandra&#8217;s parents, Jack and Terry Janway, were discovered dead alongside her 11-year-old nephew, Dalton. The authorities ultimately surmised that the incident was a murder-suicide, which shocked the motorsports community. Jimmie Johnson net worth 2024 Being a 7-time Cup Series champion, Jimmie Johnson has accumulated a lot of personal wealth, of which his sponsorship deals and brand endorsements were also a big part. Today, as the owner of a Cup Series team, Johnson is one of the wealthiest men in NASCAR and as of 2024, he has an estimated net worth of a whopping $160 million as per several reports. The 48-year-old has several sponsorship deals in place with companies like Gatorade, Blue Bunny, and Seiko. Among his own business is the NASCAR Cup Series team he owns, Legacy Motor Club, which switched manufacturers from Chevrolet to Toyota ahead of the 2024 season. Jimmie Johnson&#8217;s career timeline After racing motorbikes, trucks, and buggies, Jimmie Johnson made the switch to asphalt racing in 1997 and one of the first organizations he raced for was Herzog Motorsports in the ASA (American Speed Association). That year, he raced 3 times in the competition before coming back the following year and winning the ASA Pat Schauer Memorial Rookie title. His introduction to NASCAR was the 1998 Nationwide Series in which he took part in 3 races. Johnson&#8217;s full-time debut in the competition came with Herzog Motorsports in 2000. That season may have been winless but he finished an impressive P10 in the points. The following year, Johnson won his first race in a major NASCAR competition when he took the checkered flag at the 2001 Chicagoland 300 and went on to finish the season P8 in points. His talents were scouted by Jeff Gordon and Rick Hendrick and in 2002, Jimmie Johnson was in the Cup Series driving full-time for Hendrick Motorsports. Jimmie Johnson&#8217;s partnerships and brand endorsements The 7-time Cup Series champion does not face much difficulty in finding sponsors, given who he is and one of the biggest companies he has partnered up with recently is AdventHealth. It was revealed before the start of the new season that the healthcare brand would sponsor the NASCAR legend in 3 Cup Series races in 2024. The company, which used to sponsor Ross Chastain, has been in the sport since 2o15 and Johnson is one of the biggest athletes they have ever partnered with. When Legacy Motor Club executives decided to make the switch from Chevrolet to Toyota, they knew that a lot of changes were coming and the sponsorship side of things was no different. Mobil 1 Racing is one of the partners Johnson gained as team owner as it was revealed before the season began that the motor oil and lubricant heavyweight would sponsor every Toyota team in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series as per a report in Racing News. BRISTOL, TN &#8211; APRIL 06: Jimmie Johnson, driver of the #48 Ally Chevrolet, prepares to drive during practice for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway on April 6, 2019 in Bristol, Tennessee. (Photo by Donald Page/Getty Images) Another company that has extended its partnership with the 7-time NASCAR Cup Series champion is Carvana. It is a brand that claims to be a pioneer in buying and selling used cars online. Johnson has worked with the company since 2021 when he made his debut in IndyCar and the relationship has stood the test of time. The 2024 season will be the second that they are partnering with the #84 team and the brand&#8217;s logo will be on the car&#8217;s hood for the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400. Jimmie Johnson&#8217;s investment Jimmie Johnson acquired a portion of GMS Petty Motorsports in 2022, marking the start of his ownership career in the NASCAR Cup Series. But Richard Petty sold Maury Gallagher all of the team&#8217;s shares later that year. Gallagher had paid $19 million for the majority of Richard Petty Motorsports three years prior. After deciding to go through the Cup Series jointly, the two owners rebranded it to Legacy Motor Club. After the team changed its name to LMC in 2023, it was the first major NASCAR competition season without a Petty team. In 2023, Legacy Motor Club competed in the NASCAR Cup Series as a Chevrolet team. However, the team chose to switch to Toyota for the 2024 season. The LMC owners stated that it was preferable to be one of three teams with Toyota rather than one of eight with Chevy. Given that Johnson&#8217;s team will receive a great deal of support and resources from both Joe Gibbs Racing and 23XI Racing, this decision, which has been heavily debated in the racing world, might turn out to be a highly successful one. Jimmie Johnson&#8217;s career stats There is a reason why Jimmie Johnson is considered to be one of the greatest NASCAR racers of all time and that is his on-track numbers. In the Cup Series, the 48-year-old has taken part in almost 700 races and he has racked up a whopping 83 wins so far in his Cup career. He also has 374 top-10 finishes and 36 pole positions. In the Xfinity Series, his numbers are lackluster. Johnson has taken part in 93 races in the competition, recording 1 win, 24 top 10s, and 2 pole positions. He is also a 2-time winner of the Busch Clash, Southern 500, and Daytona 500. Johnson has won the All-Star race, Coca-Cola 600, and Brickyard 400 four times each. He also won the Indianapolis race in the 2003 International Race of Champions. Jimmie Johnson records The former Hendrick Motorsports driver is no stranger to records as he has set several of them throughout his illustrious career. He is the only driver apart from the late great Dale Earnhardt Sr and Richard &#8216;The King&#8217; Petty to have won 7 NASCAR Cup Series championship titles. But Jimmie Johnson has a record to his name that neither of them or anyone in the history of NASCAR has. He is the only person t win the Cup Series five times in a row (2006-2010).

(Photo by Jonathan Ferrey/NASCAR via Getty Images) Jimmie Johnson&#8217;s major achievements and awards It should come as no surprise that a driver of this level has won multiple individual honors apart fromÂ his seven Cup Series victories. In addition to being named one of NASCAR&#8217;s Greatest 75 drivers of all time, he has won numerous accolades, including the 1998 ASA National Tour Rookie of the Year, the 2009 AP Male Athlete of the Year, five Driver of the Year titles, the 2020 Bill France Award of Excellence, and the 2022 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year. The seven-time Cup Series winner received another award in 2024 when he was admitted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame. In 2011, following his fifth consecutive championship, Johnson had the honor of meeting then-US President Barack Obama. The former President expressed interest in the legendary #48 Hendrick Motorsports car used by the NASCAR star and welcomed him into the White House. Jimmie Johnson in the 24 Hours of LeMans The 48-year-old has never participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the most recognizable motorsports competitions in the world, until recently. Johnson traveled to France in 2023 as part of the Garage 56 initiative at Hendrick Motorsports. Mike Rockenfeller and Jenson Button, two legendary figures in motorsports, were his teammates for the event. The former HMS Cup Series driver was ecstatic with the experience as the squad met their objective of finishing the race. The team finished the race in P39. 24 Hendrick Motorsports USA Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 â€“ innovative car â€“ Jimmie Johnson USA Mike Rockenfeller Deu Jenson Button GBR during the 91st 24 Hours of Le Mans, centenary edition, 4th round of the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship FIA WEC, Collective car shoot, circuit des 24 Heures du Mans, Le Mans FRA, June 06 2023 automobileÂ : 24 heures du Mans â€“ FIA WEC â€“ Championnats du monde d endurance â€“ 06/06/2023 Mpsagency/Panoramic PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxFRAxITAxBEL His luck at the 24 Hours of Daytona has not been too good as Johnson never really got into his groove in that race. The last time he raced in the event was in 2011 and he could only manage a P59 finish. His best performance was in 2010 when he finished P30. Jimmie Johnson foundation Jimmie JohnsonÂ and his wife Chandra established the Jimmie Johnson Foundation in 2006. Over the years, the foundationÂ has assisted many underprivileged families and children in a variety of ways. Through the organization&#8217;s Champion Grant program, the foundation presently concentrates on Kâ€“12 public education, according to its website. It also collaborates with the popularÂ Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grantsÂ children with life-threatening illnesses wishes. ToÂ support disaster relief operations, Johnson&#8217;s Foundation has also collaborated closely with the American Red Cross. The Hendrick Marrow Program, Victory Junction, and Habitat for Humanity are a few more charitable causes that the organization sponsors. Jimmie Johnsonâ€™s tribute to his late friends Jimmie Johnson was a compassionate and devoted friend, a side of him that often got overshadowed by his competitive one. He has paid his sincere respects to the close friends he has lost in life. Blaise Alexander, a fellow driver, and he were close friends, but their relationship tragically ended. Alexander lost his life in an instant after a crash on lap 63 of the 2001 EasyCare 100 at Lowe&#8217;s Motor Speedway, cracking the underside of his skull. In every race car Johnson has raced since, he memorialized his friend by placing his initials as a flame decal inside it.

(Photo by Sean Gardner/Getty Images) Ricky Hendrick, son of Johnson&#8217;s ex-boss Rick Hendrick,Â unfortunately died in a plane disaster in 2004 along with nine other people. The seven-time Cup Series winner also placed the Hendrick plane&#8217;s tail number inside the vehicles as a sign of respect. Jimmie Johnson in popular media Jimmie Johnson has a history of special appearances in a lot of different places like TV and movies. He created television history in 2013 when he was the first athlete in the professional ranks to co-host the well-liked ESPN program SportsCenter. He has also appeared in a music video for the song &#8220;Ain&#8217;t no man&#8221; by The Avrett Brothers. Johnson has so far acted in several films and television series. Among them are Las Vegas and Herbie: Fully Loaded. He also made an appearance on a Top Gear and 24/7 episode. The seven-time Cup Series winner can be found in many NASCAR-themed video games. You can drive his #48 car in Forza Motorsport 6. Additionally, he appeared in the smartphone game Ally Racer.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Having been a Cup Series driver for over twenty years, Kevin Harvick has reportedly amassed an approximately $70 million net worth. He was reportedly being paid $10.9 million at Stewart-Haas Racing before he retired and was reportedly one of the highest paid drivers in his last full-time season in 2023. While the retired veteran has taken up new duties as a full-time FOX TV Analyst, his salary hasn't been disclosed.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Career TimelineÂ Â </b></h2>
Kevin Harvick's relation with the race-track dates back to his toddler days. Little Harvick was reportedly gifted a go-kart by his parents as a kindergarten graduation gift. And since that day, the racer hasn't had to look back. The driver soon started participating in go-karting events, and notably won two Grand National championships and seven national championships. However, Harvick didn't stop there as he began racing in late models on a part-time basis during his teenage days. And just three years later, in 1995, Harvick made his <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-truck-series/">NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series</a> debut at Mesa Marin Raceway, where he finished P27.

Then in 1999, he made his Xfinity Series (then called the NASCAR Busch Series) debut at Rockingham Speedway. Unfortunately, due to an engine failure, the racer had to finish at a dismal P42, despite having started at P24.

Subsequently, Kevin Harvick was scheduled to make a full-time <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-cup-series/">Cup Series</a> in 2002 with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/richard-childress-racing/">Richard Childress Racing</a>. However, the Intimidator Dale Earnhardt's tragic death during the 2001 Daytona 500 changed all plans and Kevin Harvick had to fill in for Earnhardt for the rest of the season, starting with the Dura Lube 400 at Rockingham Speedway, where he finished P14. And 13 years later, Harvick finally won the Cup Series in 2014.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvick and Dale EarnhardtÂ </b></h2>
Kevin Harvick's foray into the Cup Series will always be a part of the history books. Initially, after showing blistering performances in other NASCAR divisions, Harvick was roped in to make his Cup debut in 2002 on a full-time basis, for Richard Childress Racing. However, that plan didn't see the light of day as, in 2001, during the Daytona 500, Dale Earnhardt met his tragic end. Now, left with a vacant No. 29 Chevrolet, Richard Childress decided to field Harvick on an immediate basis that saw him compete the rest of the season, 35 races to be precise, in place of the Intimidator.

Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt shared a camaraderie like no other. Being a part of the same team back then saw the duo form a friendship where Dale Earnhardt reportedly also took up a mentorship role for Harvick, who was in his early 20s back then.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvick Controversies</b></h2>
While Kevin Harvick has made some memorable friendships in the circuit during his long career, feuds have also followed him on quite some occasions. One of the most memorable ones date back to 2014 when Kevin Harvick, despite not being involved in a fight directly, decided to stir the pot. The incident unfolded during the final playoff elimination round at the AAA Texas 500. Keselowski seemingly squeezed between the No. 48 of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jimmie-johnson/">Johnson</a> and the No. 24 of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jeff-gordon/">Gordon</a> in a bid to steal the win but instead bumped Gordon, which ended up spinning him to the back of the field and finish at a dismal P29.

Later, after the conclusion of the race, Gordon stormed over to pit road to confront <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/brad-keselowski/">Keselowski</a>, who didn't seem too interested in a feud. However, things took a turn when Kevin Harvick suddenly came up from behind Keselowski and pushed him toward Jeff Gordon. What followed was a massive fistfight. While Harvick, at the time, may have instigated the fight, he later expressed his regret for the shove.

https://twitter.com/NASCARONFOX/status/1190282849276104704

<em>â€œI know what I was thinking when I pushed him into the fight and then it caused the chaos. For me, my mind was, â€˜Man, we didnâ€™t win tonight. We need chaos'â€¦We needed the story to go elsewhere other than us and being out of contention. It did exactly what I wanted it to do, but itâ€™s not the best thing for your kids to find on YouTube, starting the fight,â€Â </em>Harvick had later shared on 'Stacking Pennies With Corey LaJoie'.

One other driver that the 2014 Cup Series Champion was seen locking horns with was <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joey-logano/">Joey Logano</a>. The duo was often seen racing hard against each other and even engaging in multiple run-ins. In 2010, at the Pocono Raceway, Harvick had nudged Logano from behind, which sent him spinning. And later, during a post-race interview, Logano didn't holf back from firing shots at both Harvick and his wife DeLana.<em> â€œI donâ€™t know what his deal is with me, but itâ€™s probably not his fault, you know, his wife wears the firesuit in the family and tells him what to do. I donâ€™t know what Iâ€™ve ever done to piss him off, but heâ€™s apparently stupid,â€</em> Logano had said. That's not the end of it, though. Again, in 2015, a similar incident took place, but this time it was Logano who nudged Harvick during the Sprint Unlimited at Daytona International Speedway.

https://twitter.com/NASCARONFOX/status/1134497767089303552

While the feud seemed like it would have no end, the duo have let of the bad blood, and are even good friends today.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvick Retirement and Fox booth analyst</b></h2>
A saddening news hit the NASCAR circuit in January 2023, when Kevin Harvick announced that he would retire after the 2023 season.

<em>â€œThere is absolutely nothing else in the world that I enjoy doing more than going to the race track, and Iâ€™m genuinely looking forward to this season. But as Iâ€™ve gone through the years, I knew there would come a day where I had to make a decision. When would it be time to step away from the car? Iâ€™ve sought out people and picked their brains. When I asked them when they knew it was the right time, they said itâ€™ll just happen, and youâ€™ll realize thatâ€™s the right moment. Youâ€™ll make a plan and decide when itâ€™s your last year. Itâ€™s definitely been hard to understand when that right moment is because weâ€™ve been so fortunate to run well. But sometimes there are just other things going on that become more important and, for me, that time has come,â€</em> Harvick had said in an official press release.

And just a month later, it was announced that the veteran would be joining the FOX Sports Broadcast Booth for the Cup Series in 2024. He was roped in as a part of a three-member team alongside Mike Joy and Clint Bowyer.

Kevin Harvick

Kevin Harvick: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More Who is Kevin Harvick? Kevin Harvick is a stock car racing driver, who will perhaps always be known as the guy that succeeded Dale Earnhardt. However, he has made sure that&#8217;s not the only thing he&#8217;s known for after churning out more than two decades of what everybody will definitely call an iconic career.

Mandatory Credit: Mike Dinovo-USA TODAY Sports Kevin Harvickâ€™s Early Life Kevin Harvick was born on December 8, 1975, to Mike Harvick and JoNell Harvick. He has a younger sister named Amber, who prefers to stay away from the limelight. Kevin Harvickâ€™s Wife and Children Talking about Kevin Harvick is incomplete without mentioning his partner in crime, DeLana Harvick. The couple first met in the year 2000, when DeLana was working in the Public Relations department for NASCAR driver, Randy LaJoie. The couple, smitten with each other, tied the knot just a year later, shortly after Harvick&#8217;s Cup Series debut and have been going strong since then. They have two children together, a son Keelan Paul Harvick, born on July 8, 2012, and a daughter Piper Harvick, his daughter, born on December 8, 2017. Source: Kevin Harvick&#8217;s Facbook Page Kevin Harvickâ€™s Net Worth 2024 Having been a Cup Series driver for over twenty years, Kevin Harvick has reportedly amassed an approximately $70 million net worth. He was reportedly being paid $10.9 million at Stewart-Haas Racing before he retired and was reportedly one of the highest paid drivers in his last full-time season in 2023. While the retired veteran has taken up new duties as a full-time FOX TV Analyst, his salary hasn&#8217;t been disclosed. Kevin Harvickâ€™s Career TimelineÂ Â  Kevin Harvick&#8217;s relation with the race-track dates back to his toddler days. Little Harvick was reportedly gifted a go-kart by his parents as a kindergarten graduation gift. And since that day, the racer hasn&#8217;t had to look back. The driver soon started participating in go-karting events, and notably won two Grand National championships and seven national championships. However, Harvick didn&#8217;t stop there as he began racing in late models on a part-time basis during his teenage days. And just three years later, in 1995, Harvick made his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut at Mesa Marin Raceway, where he finished P27. Then in 1999, he made his Xfinity Series (then called the NASCAR Busch Series) debut at Rockingham Speedway. Unfortunately, due to an engine failure, the racer had to finish at a dismal P42, despite having started at P24. Subsequently, Kevin Harvick was scheduled to make a full-time Cup Series in 2002 with Richard Childress Racing. However, the Intimidator Dale Earnhardt&#8217;s tragic death during the 2001 Daytona 500 changed all plans and Kevin Harvick had to fill in for Earnhardt for the rest of the season, starting with the Dura Lube 400 at Rockingham Speedway, where he finished P14. And 13 years later, Harvick finally won the Cup Series in 2014. Kevin Harvickâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements According to Kevin Harvick&#8217;s official website, he is backed by brands like RealTree, Busch Beer, Hunt Brothers Pizza, Pristine Auction.com, Ezgo and Treetop. Kevin Harvickâ€™s NASCAR Stats In his elaborate Cup career, Kevin Harvick has clinched 60 wins, 444 Top-10s and 31 pole positions in 826 races. In the Xfinity Series, in 349 races, the driver has 47 wins, 261 Top-10s and 25 poles. As for NASCAR&#8217;s third division, the Craftsman Truck Series, Harvick has four pole positions, 62 top-10s and 14 wins in 124, to his name. Kevin Harvickâ€™s Major Achievements and Awards There&#8217;s hardly anything the driver has yet to clinch in his NASCAR career. From championship wins to iconic race wins, Harvick has it all! He won the 2014 Cup Series championship, besides being named as one of NASCAR&#8217;s 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023. Apart from that, Harvick is also tops the list for wins at the Phoenix Raceway with nine victories. He is also the 2011 and 2013 Coca-Cola 600 winner, the 2007 NEXTEL All-Star Challenge winner, the 2009, 2010 and Â 2013 Sprint Unlimited winner, the 2014 and 2020 Cook Out Southern 500 winner and the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star Race winner, among others.

(Photo by Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images) Kevin Harvick and Dale EarnhardtÂ  Kevin Harvick&#8217;s foray into the Cup Series will always be a part of the history books. Initially, after showing blistering performances in other NASCAR divisions, Harvick was roped in to make his Cup debut in 2002 on a full-time basis, for Richard Childress Racing. However, that plan didn&#8217;t see the light of day as, in 2001, during the Daytona 500, Dale Earnhardt met his tragic end. Now, left with a vacant No. 29 Chevrolet, Richard Childress decided to field Harvick on an immediate basis that saw him compete the rest of the season, 35 races to be precise, in place of the Intimidator. Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt shared a camaraderie like no other. Being a part of the same team back then saw the duo form a friendship where Dale Earnhardt reportedly also took up a mentorship role for Harvick, who was in his early 20s back then. Kevin Harvick Controversies While Kevin Harvick has made some memorable friendships in the circuit during his long career, feuds have also followed him on quite some occasions. One of the most memorable ones date back to 2014 when Kevin Harvick, despite not being involved in a fight directly, decided to stir the pot. The incident unfolded during the final playoff elimination round at the AAA Texas 500. Keselowski seemingly squeezed between the No. 48 of Johnson and the No. 24 of Gordon in a bid to steal the win but instead bumped Gordon, which ended up spinning him to the back of the field and finish at a dismal P29. Later, after the conclusion of the race, Gordon stormed over to pit road to confront Keselowski, who didn&#8217;t seem too interested in a feud. However, things took a turn when Kevin Harvick suddenly came up from behind Keselowski and pushed him toward Jeff Gordon. What followed was a massive fistfight. While Harvick, at the time, may have instigated the fight, he later expressed his regret for the shove. https://twitter.com/NASCARONFOX/status/1190282849276104704 â€œI know what I was thinking when I pushed him into the fight and then it caused the chaos. For me, my mind was, â€˜Man, we didnâ€™t win tonight. We need chaos&#8217;â€¦We needed the story to go elsewhere other than us and being out of contention. It did exactly what I wanted it to do, but itâ€™s not the best thing for your kids to find on YouTube, starting the fight,â€Â Harvick had later shared on &#8216;Stacking Pennies With Corey LaJoie&#8217;. One other driver that the 2014 Cup Series Champion was seen locking horns with was Joey Logano. The duo was often seen racing hard against each other and even engaging in multiple run-ins. In 2010, at the Pocono Raceway, Harvick had nudged Logano from behind, which sent him spinning. And later, during a post-race interview, Logano didn&#8217;t holf back from firing shots at both Harvick and his wife DeLana. â€œI donâ€™t know what his deal is with me, but itâ€™s probably not his fault, you know, his wife wears the firesuit in the family and tells him what to do. I donâ€™t know what Iâ€™ve ever done to piss him off, but heâ€™s apparently stupid,â€ Logano had said. That&#8217;s not the end of it, though. Again, in 2015, a similar incident took place, but this time it was Logano who nudged Harvick during the Sprint Unlimited at Daytona International Speedway. https://twitter.com/NASCARONFOX/status/1134497767089303552 While the feud seemed like it would have no end, the duo have let of the bad blood, and are even good friends today. Kevin Harvick Retirement and Fox booth analyst A saddening news hit the NASCAR circuit in January 2023, when Kevin Harvick announced that he would retire after the 2023 season. â€œThere is absolutely nothing else in the world that I enjoy doing more than going to the race track, and Iâ€™m genuinely looking forward to this season. But as Iâ€™ve gone through the years, I knew there would come a day where I had to make a decision. When would it be time to step away from the car? Iâ€™ve sought out people and picked their brains. When I asked them when they knew it was the right time, they said itâ€™ll just happen, and youâ€™ll realize thatâ€™s the right moment. Youâ€™ll make a plan and decide when itâ€™s your last year. Itâ€™s definitely been hard to understand when that right moment is because weâ€™ve been so fortunate to run well. But sometimes there are just other things going on that become more important and, for me, that time has come,â€ Harvick had said in an official press release. And just a month later, it was announced that the veteran would be joining the FOX Sports Broadcast Booth for the Cup Series in 2024. He was roped in as a part of a three-member team alongside Mike Joy and Clint Bowyer.
