Harvick shared a video showing his son driving a car around a track. The SHR driver captioned, “Today we teach @KeelanHarvick how to shift on a road course!”
It is great to see Harvick preparing his next generation, maybe to carry the Harvick name into the future of NASCAR. Keelan is barely 10 years old at this point in time and still has a lot of time ahead of him. But it is in these crucial years that he must learn the ropes of the sport. And who better to learn from than his own father? Also, Harvick’s son has already achieved quite a lot of accolades in the racing scene already. Sure, that points towards a promising future, but it still is too early to say so.
However, while he teaches his son the basics of racing, his own future in the sport remains under the shadows.
