In the world of NASCAR, champions like Kevin Harvick are known for their prowess behind the wheel. But what happens when they step into the passenger seat of a street car? In a surprising revelation, Harvick recently shared his thoughts on being a passenger. And it might not be what you’d expect.

The 2023 NASCAR season has been a rollercoaster ride for Kevin Harvick. The 47-year-old racing veteran faced numerous challenges throughout the year. Making it one of the most challenging seasons of his career. The pinnacle of his struggles came during the final Cup Series playoff race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Kevin Harvick makes an astonishing revelation amidst a horrible exit from the playoffs

In the #4 Ford car for Stewart Haas Racing, the final Cup Series playoff race at Bristol ended in heartbreak as Harvick finished 29th. A position far from what he had envisioned. This result not only marked the end of his playoff run but also extinguished his chances of clinching the NASCAR Cup Series championship in his farewell season.

This result also sealed the fate of three other drivers – Ricky Stenhouse Jr, Michael McDowell, and defending champion Joey Logano, who were also eliminated from championship contention.

As the reality of his last chance at a championship slipped away, Kevin Harvick was asked a seemingly simple question by The Athletic. “Can you describe how you are as a passenger in a street car?” His response was nothing short of astonishing.

“I’m not good,” Harvick admitted. He went on to explain that his wife, DeLana, often takes the wheel, and their journeys aren’t without a fair share of commentary. “She gives me a lot of grief when I drive, that I drive too slow or I should have turned here or I shouldn’t listen to the navigation. So I try to give her the exact feedback that she gives me while I drive. And I think she’s not a very good driver in general. She’s an overly aggressive street driver. So I wind up giving a lot of feedback from the passenger seat.”

While every NASCAR team aims for championship glory at the beginning of the season. It’s not always attainable. The performance of the #4 team this season may not have met the lofty expectations, but Brett Griffin’s words carry some weight. He acknowledged the challenges faced by the team and highlighted the importance of realistic goals.

On the recent episode of ‘Door Bumper Clear,’ Brett Griffin didn’t mince words while reflecting on what went down at Bristol. When discussing the expectations of the #4 team, he stated, “If I am the #4 team, I don?t think they ever thought that [they will win the championship]. I think they were more realistic. ?Man, let?s get Kevin a win in his final ten races and send him out a winner.? Cuz they certainly deserve that. Rodney and Kevin are great guys. Big-time racers.”

As Kevin Harvick’s final races approach, the focus shifts to honoring his legacy and making the most of each opportunity. The team may not have secured a championship, but they have a chance to create memorable moments in Harvick’s farewell tour.
