Kevin Harvick to debut new Mobil 1 scheme highlighting incredible milestone
Kevin Harvick’s career is winding down with each passing weekend, and fans are savoring the final four races of the veteran’s time behind the wheel.
Each Sunday, Harvick is feeling the love at the track, and that’ll be the case once again at Las Vegas. Especially with the new Mobil 1 paint scheme Harvick will debut at the track this weekend.
Check it out below, as it was shared to Twitter by Dustin Albino of Jayski. The scheme has the number 308,238 — the number of miles Harvick has raced at the Cup level. Pretty sweet.
“Kevin Harvick will run a new Mobil 1 scheme at Las Vegas this weekend. On the bumper, it has the number 308,238, which is the number of miles Harvick has raced at the Cup level,” tweeted Albino. “That ranks fifth all time, behind Mark Martin, Ricky Rudd, Terry Labonte and Bill Elliott.”
Even without the mile marker on the back, that’s a pretty sweet scheme for Harvick’s ride. Perhaps he’ll be able to find Victory Lane in it, which would be an awesome turn of events.
Nevertheless, this’ll certainly be a popular die-cast after this weekend, for fans of Kevin Harvick and NASCAR collectors alike. We can’t wait to see him take the track in this wrap on Sunday.
Kevin Harvick reacts to being honored with The 4EVER 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway
Continuing, NASCAR has two weeks until they race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, but Kevin Harvick has been given a massive honor. The 4EVER 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway presented by Mobil 1. This is something that Harvick says is “top of the list” among his retirement tour “surprises.”
It has been so much fun to see all of the Kevin Harvick love. When he took on an impossible job as a rookie, replacing Dale Earnhardt, he had the world on his shoulders. Now, 60 wins, a championship, endless moments of emotion and passion.
While Happy Harvick has been having a tough final year, it isn’t all bad. So, it hasn’t gone the way they hoped up to this point. However, The Closer seems at peace with it all. Having a race named in his honor might be a little bit better than winning a race.
“That is really cool,” Harvick said in a video. “The 4Ever 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. That is definitely top of the list for the surprises of the year. You never know what’s coming next and the year has just been filled with great support from sponsors and fans, and race tracks. To have the 4Ever 400 race title is something I didn’t expect. So, thank you Mobil 1, and this is going to be fun.”
Now, imagine if he goes out there and wins this thing! Homestead-Miami Speedway has been good to him over the years. He earned his 2014 championship there.
