Kevin Harvick feels that at KHI both SVG and LaJoie will grow their brands

NASCAR veteran and icon, Kevin Harvick knows what it takes to win races but he also knows how to carry himself off the racetrack and grow his brand. Well, luckily for other drivers, he has built a sports marketing agency that maximizes their client’s brand awareness and marketplace value. With the addition of SVG and Corey LaJoie, they have extended their clientele list for 2024.

Welcoming the duo onboard, founder Harvick said, “We’ve had a busy off season at KHI, both on the management side and the racing side. On the management side, we’ve added Corey and Shane which is great for us. With Corey established in the Cup Series and Shane making his transition to NASCAR, I am confident KHIM can help them navigate their careers and grow their brands.”

Looking to feed off from Harvick’s industry knowledge, LaJoie said, “I’m excited to be a part of the team. The knowledge Kevin and his team bring to the table is second to none in our industry, whether it’s on the track or off. The Harvicks have had a large impact on my career, from the time I was just a kid trying to find my way, so getting to formalize a working relationship with them and their team is something I’m proud of.”

Shane van Gisbergen has been creating a lot of buzz since his Cup-winning debut at the Chicago street race last year. Hailing from New Zealand, the 34-year-old is a part of the Project91 program by Trackhouse Racing that will see him run a part-time Cup schedule and a full-time opportunity in the Xfinity Series. He will pilot the No.97 for Kaulig Racing in the Xfinity Series in alliance with Trackhouse.

However, his opening schedule is a hectic one for a driver who is getting the full-blown NASCAR experience for the first time. Apart from his duties running the No.97 for Kaulig, he will also run at the ARCA Menard’s opener on February 17th. He will be racing under the banner of Pinnacle Racing Group for his ARCA feature. This means that he will have to manage on both Xfinity and ARCA fronts which can prove to be a tough ask for the driver.
