He has numerous wins under his belt already in the junior karting ranks, from winning the 2022 US Pro Kart Series to the Legends feature race on Thanksgiving Day last year in November at Southern National Motorsports Park.

Keelan, who drives the #62 Hunts Brother Pizza Legend car, was recently seen in a go-kart racing his NASCAR veteran father Kevin. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Kevin Harvick shared some moments with his son, saying:
