They said the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, and Keelan Harvick proved it right. And, we don’t say it only because Keelan is a race car driver too, but because recently he has achieved another “Like father like son” win in another sphere of life, which not only includes achieving the same “game” but achieving it at the same place.
Which father would not have his chest puffed out? And Kevin Harvick is no different. The father-son duo recently went on a trip and made memories that not just the two would remember, but even the fans would cherish.

Keelan Harvick is former Cup Series winner Kevin Harvick’s 12-year-old son. And he is quite the racer. Keelan has won several races in Legends Car Racing, including the 2024 Asphalt National Championship. No wonder Harvick Sr. ended the year saying he was proud of the 2024 accomplishments.
In case you didn’t know, Kevin Harvick has a passion for hunting, and from the looks of it, it seems that Keelan is doing a good job of following his dad’s footsteps. Just recently, Tyler Jordan from Real Tree shared on X, “Biggest buck for @KeelanHarvick! Congrats on this stud 8-point in the same field where his dad took his biggest deer a few years ago. Special memories with the fam @Realtree.” Tyler Jordan hosts Real Tree road trips on Real Tree 365, a platform that streams hunting and fishing content.
The post shared by Jordan also had pictures showing Tyler Jordan, Kevin Harvick, his son, and his daughter, as well as the game. You can see participants donning wide grins at the success. Even the fans are thrilled. One noted the presence of Piper Harvick, the daughter, and got excited. Other fans expressed their amazement with the hunting trophy, even though some others mentioned their displeasure at all things hunting.
However, the NASCAR driver and his son are clearly in hunting. In fact, Kevin Harvick had shared some more pictures with the caption, “Let the good time roll.” It’s important to note here Real Tree backed Kevin Harvick in 1999 for the ARCA Menards Series. It’s an outdoor apparel brand that partnered with Kevin Harvick in 2023 for the NOCO 400 at Martinsville.

Last year, Keelan Harvick made his debut in limited late-model races. And, by the looks of his 8th-place finish in the South Carolina 400, he is a serious contender in the future. In an interview with Short-track Racing, Kevin Harvick said, “I think next year we’ll probably run eight to twelve of these Limited Late Model races. We’ll run a lot here in Florence just because I like the rules; you can buy tires. We can give him a good, quality experience here.”
Keelan is set to compete with Rackley War in Pro Late Model events this year. On the other hand, dad Kevin Harvick is set to expand his race schedule in Pro Late Model and Super Late Model of the Cars Tour West. It’s also noteworthy that only recently, Dad himself has decided to come out of retirement, which he took only in 2023.
