Kevin Harvick’s wife DeLana shares a “proud momma” moment on son Keelan’s first CARS Tour race
Earlier this week, former NASCAR Cup Series driver Kevin Harvick's son Keelan made his CARS Tour Pro Late Model debut at the Cordele Speedway in Georgia, where he scored a top-five finish. His mom, DeLana Harvick, took to her social media account to share a recap of her son's strong debut, as well as relaying her feelings of pride for her 12-year-old race-car driver son. DeLana also added a cute picture of her and her child to the post, which featured a checklist of his accomplishments from the CARS Tour weekend.
Posting on X (formerly Twitter) account, the former Cup Series driver's wife wrote:
"First @CARSTour race for Bruddy! Pole ✅ Led Laps ✅ Completed All the Laps ✅ Top-5 Finish ✅ Fastest Lap of the Race ✅ Proud Momma ❤️ "
Driving the #62 car for the Rackley WAR team, Kevin Harvick's son secured pole position for the race after having led almost every practice session building up to the event. From then on, Keelan led almost half the race, but after missing a shift on a restart, the young driver dropped down to seventh place but was able to recover and cross the line to secure a fifth-place finish, along with achieving the fastest lap of the race.
Speaking about his experience of racing in his first-ever CARS Tour Race, Keelan reflected on the event and revealed that it was a big learning experience for him as a driver.
"I sat on the pole, led laps, finished in the top five and won the fastest lap of the race award, but most importantly I learned A LOT!," Harvick wrote on X.
This was the third fifth-place finish for Keelan, who also scored the same results at the Florence Motor Speedway earlier this month in the Legend Cars and the Late Model categories. He also secured a 15th-place finish at his official Pro Late Model debut with the CARS Tour West at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, California, in March.
Kevin Harvick shares side-to-side livery comparison between his and son's vehicles
Earlier this week, just in time for his son's CARS Tour debut, Kevin Harvick shared an image of his #2 Truck, which he used to secure a victory at the Atlanta Motor Speedway during the 2010 E-Z-GO 200 event. The livery on his #2 Kevin Harvick Inc. truck is very similar to the livery that was on the #62 car driven by Keelan Harvick at the Cordele track this week.
Posting on his Instagram account, the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series Champion wrote:
"Like father, like son."
The win at the 2010 Truck Series event gave Harvick a victory at the Atlanta track in all three NASCAR Series.
