Earlier, tragedy struck the entertainment world as country music singer Naomi Judd passed away. Judd was one half of the music duo, The Judds, along with her daughter Wynonna. At the time of her death, she was 76 years old, and many fans were devastated by the news. There were also a few members of the NASCAR community who reacted to the news. READ MORE: NASCAR Community Reacts as One of Their Own Announces Blissful News [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nascar-news-nascar-community-reacts-as-one-of-their-own-announces-blissful-news/] Among them was pit reporter Jamie Little, whose tribute was quite touching [https://twitter.com/JamieLittleTV/status/1520509509059461122]. Little had even met the mother-daughter duo during her first Indy 500. It was one of her biggest moments because she looked up to them when she was just a child. So it would have been very heart-breaking to learn that one of her childhood heroes had died. One cannot even begin to imagine what Naomi’s family must be going through. They must have been devastated at the loss, as she had a massive impact on them. WHO ELSE IN THE NASCAR COMMUNITY REACTED TO THE TRAGIC NEWS? Another person who was saddened at the news was Kevin Harvick’s crew chief, Rodney Childers. He acknowledged the subject of mental health, which was the cause of Judd’s passing. According to him, no one really knows what other people are going through, and mental health is an important issue. Coming to the subject of NASCAR racing, the paddock is at the Dover International Speedway for this weekend’s race. Harvick qualified in 11th place, the highest of all his teammates. His nearest partner is Chase Briscoe, who is all the way down in 23rd. Meanwhile, Aric Almirola, in his final season, starts 27th and Cole Custer rounds out the tail of the Top 30. Meanwhile, a delighted Chris Buescher, a fellow Ford driver, starts on pole for Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing. Teammate Brad Keselowski starts a bit further behind in 20th place.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Early Life</b></h2>
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.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Wife and Children</strong></h2>
Talking about Kevin Harvick is incomplete without mentioning his partner in crime, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nascar-news-who-is-delana-harvick-meet-nascar-driver-kevin-harvicks-wife/">DeLana Harvick</a>. 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's Cup Series debut and have been going strong since then.

<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"><strong>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</strong></h2>
According to Kevin Harvick's official website, he is backed by brands like RealTree, Busch Beer, Hunt Brothers Pizza, Pristine Auction.com, Ezgo and Treetop.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvickâ€™s NASCAR Stats</b></h2>
In his elaborate Cup career, Kevin Harvick has clinched 60 wins, 444 Top-10s and 31 pole positions in 826 races. In the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/nascar-xfinity-series/">Xfinity Series</a>, in 349 races, the driver has 47 wins, 261 Top-10s and 25 poles. As for NASCAR's third division, the Craftsman Truck Series, Harvick has four pole positions, 62 top-10s and 14 wins in 124, to his name.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Kevin Harvickâ€™s Major Achievements and Awards</b></h2>
There'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's 75 Greatest Drivers in 2023. Apart from that, Harvick is also tops the list for wins at the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nascar/phoenix-raceway/">Phoenix Raceway</a> with nine victories.

<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.

<h2>Rodney Childers: 2021 Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</h2>
Rodney Childers is an American NASCAR Cup Series group boss and former stock vehicle racer. He is working at Stewart-Haas Racing as the team boss for the No. 4 Ford Mustang, driven by Kevin Harvick, victor of the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series title.
<h2>Rodney Childers: Career</h2>
Rodney Childers was born in Mooresville, North Carolina. Childers himself was a racer, contending in the World Karting Association when he was 12 years of age. He won seven titles in the territory of South Carolina and five titles at the public level prior to moving to the Late Model Stock Car division in 1997.

In 2000, Childers made his Xfinity Series debut at Myrtle Beach Speedway, driving the No. 49 Chevrolet Monte Carlo for Jay Robinson Racing.

Childers resigned from driving in 2003 to focus on turning into a mechanic. He originally worked with Penske-Jasper Racing as a technician for the No. 77 Dodge, prior to becoming the car chief. In June 2005, Childers was named Scott Riggs' group boss at MB2/MBV Motorsports for the remainder of the period, where Riggs scored two top-fives and four top-10 completions.

He moved with Riggs to Evernham Motorsports toward the beginning of the 2006 season and remained with him until October 2007. Childers then became Elliott Sadler's team boss at Evernham. He remained with Sadler until the finish of 2008 when he moved to Michael Waltrip Racing.

In 2009, Childers was recruited by Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR) to fill in as group head of the No. 00 group and driver David Reutimann.

Childers acquired his first outing to triumph path as a NASCAR Cup Series group boss when he guided Reutimann to success in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte in May.

Childers and Reutimann scored a second triumph the accompanying season at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Illinois. In three years together, they consolidated for two poles, two successes, 12 top-fives, and 21 top-10s.

In 2014, Childers assembled the No. 4 group for Stewart-Haas Racing without any preparation with new workers, new gear, and new racecars. In their second race of the series at Phoenix Raceway, Childers and Harvick scored their first triumph by dominating 224 of 312 laps.

The second success for the new group came only six races later in the Southern 500 at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway, where the No. 4 vehicle began from the pole position and ruled once more, dominating 238 of 374 laps.

The group completed the 2014 season with five successes, eight pole positions and 2,137 laps drove, turning out to be just the third group to lead in excess of 2,000 laps in a solitary season since 2000.

Since the title win, the pair has been predictable in completing inside the NASCAR playoffs.
