It was one final shot for redemption for Kevin Harvick to earn his second championship title before he bid adieu to professional racing at the end of the 2023 season. The driver had overcome every form of on-track adversities to advance to the playoffs in his final year as a Cup Series driver, however, his journey to the Cup Series was cut short.

After a dismal performance and scrambling with his Ford car, the 2014 Cup Series champion fell down in laps only to be eliminated at the end of the Bristol race, thus shattering the hopes of a second victory. However, it seems that the driver is slowly settling down into the role of a retired professional, and this is evident from the latest Instagram video.

With the playoff elimination, the veteran driver of NASCAR has gradually retracted from the tracks of NASCAR as he looks forward to his other commitments. We all know about his future commitment to becoming a NASCAR analyst for FOX. But before that, it seems like he has a much more important role to fill, as a father to his two adorable kids. 

While his daughter is still too young for the world of motorsports, his older child and only son Keelan has already forayed into the world of motorsports. Building his way up from karting, he paves the way for his aspirations of becoming a Formula 1 driver. The veteran driver seems to guide his young protégé in the world of racing and mentor him to perfection.

However, in this hustle, Harvick ensures that he provides his children with undivided attention and engages in childish indulgences, and this was evident in the latest clip that he posted on Instagram. In the video, it is seen that Harvick’s son was watching a match of football while his daughter Piper was lying on the couch. Harvick suddenly called out to his son Keelan and threw a ball toward Keelan for him to catch. 

However, the kid failed to catch the ball, which eventually hit him in his groin. After getting hit, Keelan rolled down on the floor laughing. Kevin Harvick posted the video with the words, “Sometimes you have to be ready for the fastball.”
