In his rich career, Harvick had huge successes. He left a big mark on the NASCAR scene and remained inscribed in the history of this sport. His contributions and legacy continue to inspire and shape the future of NASCAR, ensuring that his name will forever be synonymous with excellence and dedication.
With his performances, he motivated many and influenced them to love NASCAR. “He is a unicorn driver to sustain the level of performance — it’s just unbelievable. You can’t list all of his accomplishments.
It’s just, you know he was a team owner, he was a guy that if he raced on Saturday in the Xfinity Series, he was gonna win. He had a truck team. He gave so much back to the sport on and off the racetrack. Gave a lot to the drivers and was a great leader for the drivers.
I think it will be a substantial loss for the series”. Source: on3.com
