Kevin Harvick looks ahead to expanded 2025 race schedule

Kevin Harvick is going to be competing in more races in 2025. On Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour, the NASCAR legend talked about his expanded racing schedule during the offseason.

“We’re going to race a lot more. I’m going to race like 15 times next year in the Pro Late Model and the Super Late Model,” Harvick said. “We’re going to kick it off Jan. 25 at Kern Raceway in California. I’m going to run the first Super Late Model race of the Cars Tour West out there. That will be how I kick my season off the week before we have to go to Bowman Gray. I’m excited about that.”

Kevin Harvick went on to talk about the number of races there are on the East Coast throughout the year. “I think that’s the part that people don’t understand. When you’re not from the East Coast, you don’t really understand how many races are actually available to do,” he said. “We’re going to race every weekend except the two weeks of Christmas, then you start again Jan. 3. It never ends and there’s always somewhere to race.”

Kevin Harvick retired from full-time racing after the 2023 season and now is a commentator for Fox Sports. But the 2019 Cup Series Champion continues to compete in various races across the country. During the summer Harvick competed in an ASA race at Five Flags Speedway.

“It was fun. I had a blast,” Harvick said at the time. “Learned a new racetrack, learned a new car, got my butt kicked by Bubba Pollard, Bubba Pollard lapped me, so that made me feel pretty good. We went to Pensacola, Florida to Five Flags Speedway. I think they had almost 6,000 people show up to the race, which is the track where they have the Snowball Derby.

Harvick added that he “stuck around after the race and signed autographs for about an hour and a half with the fans, which led to a beer-drinking competition that I’ll always lose against Bubba Pollard. Thank God it rained because that would have been a disaster. It started downpouring, and we had to leave.”
