2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick recently announced that the 2023 season will mark his final NASCAR season as he retires from stock car racing at the end of the 2023 season.
The 47-year-old, who began his career replacing legendary Dale Earnhardt, left a legacy closer to the driver as he took over the team.
Heading into the 2023 season, the #4 Ford Stewart-Haas Racing driver has revealed some key information about his final season. During a video for Stewart-Haas Racing, Kevin Harvick addressed several topics, including his love of different racing series and also mentioned that his primary focus for the 2023 season is more on his team instead of achieving personal milestones.
Harvick said:
"I think the most important thing to check off that list now is to make sure this year goes correct,” Harvick explained. “You know, I think… as everybody who’s around me knows, I want to make sure that I’m involved in everything and make sure that we dot the I’s and cross the T’s."
"Because it’s kind of like going into your first year, your first race, and running your first race. You can only run your last season once, and I want to make sure it’s right for as many people as possible because everybody."
