NASCAR legend Kevin Harvick dons dashing outfit for Halloween along with his podcast co-hosts
Kevin Harvick celebrated Halloween along with his podcast co-hosts by dressing up in a costume from a classic NASCAR movie.
Kevin Harvick and Mamba Smith wore costumes from the 2006 movie, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. The two dressed as Ricky and his racing partner, Cal Naughton Jr, while Kaitlyn Vincie was unsuccessful in getting a "Carly" costume.
The retired driver and NASCAR commentator shared a fun photo with his "Happy Hour Podcast" co-hosts, Smith and Vincie, on social media.
"Shake and Bake," wrote Harvick.
The 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion retired from full-time racing last year after driving the No. 4 Ford Mustang for Stewart–Haas Racing for 10 years.
He had 60 Cup Series race wins over a 23-year career and his combined total of 121 wins across all NASCAR series made him the third-winningest driver ever. Harvick has been a NASCAR broadcaster since 2015 and also hosts the "Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour" podcast.
"I honestly thought it was over" - Kevin Harvick on Tyler Reddick's win last Sunday
Kevin Harvick recently reacted to Tyler Reddick's amazing move which helped him win at Homestead-Miami Speedway last weekend. The 23XI Racing driver led 97 laps and made a great pass on Ryan Blaney in the last corner of the Straight Talk Wireless 400 to take the win and earn a spot in the Championship 4.
On the 69th episode of his podcast, Harvick praised Reddick’s hard work and focus.
"We had Tyler Reddick on the Victory Lap this week and I just — that grit and determination. He had the trouble with his pit crew early in the race — not really his pit crew, just getting out of the pit stall, and they kept getting beat off pit road. Gave him a great speech of confidence...and Blaney just leaves two lanes open on the top, coming to the checkered flag, which just totally blew me away," Harvick said.
"I was really not expecting Tyler to be in position, just with that little bit that he had on his tires and those scuffed tires and everything that was in this scenario. I honestly thought it was over. I really thought Blaney would go in there, protect the high line and Tyler would try some sort of crazy slide job and he’d drive back under him and drive off the corner. But that is not what transpired there,” he added.
Reddick and Joey Logano are the only drivers confirmed for Championship 4 as of now. The last race in the Round of 8 will be held at Martinsville Speedway on November 3.
