Kyle Busch has established that he dominates over the Camping World SRX Series races. With his second consecutive win in this series, he has definitely created an uproar among the NASCAR community. However, the same cannot be said about Kevin Harvick, who finished 10th in the series. Kyle Busch has become familiar with the Berlin Raceway by now with the huge variation of cars that he has raced there. 

Harvick, who has announced that this would be his last NASCAR season, had a relatively unremarkable performance at Berlin. Brad Keselowski had led most of the laps at the race, but Kevin Harvick had surprisingly under-delivered. However, Joey Logano, who was providing commentary on the race, chose to crack a light humorous joke even in the middle of an intense part of the race. 

Joey Logano called out an unexpected name

When the race had only 8 laps to go, an intense moment transpired between Ken Schrader and Kevin Harvick. Harvick and Schrader both were speeding each other when Joey Logano humorously alleviated the tension of the moment. He had six words to share regarding the speeding and intense chase that ensued momentarily between them. 

He’s still using that bumper Keelan,” said Lgano. “We’ve talked about this!” 

Logano playfully made a remark that was addressed to Kevin Harvick’s son, Keelan. Keelan Harvick is a racer too, and one that Kevin is training rigorously. While Kevin failed to make a mark at Heat 2 at Berlin, one can definitely be hopeful that the remaining races of the season bear better results for him.

Just like Ty Gibbs and Brexton Busch, even Keelan Harvick is lucky enough to already have a racer in the family to look up to. Ty has his grandfather Joe Gibbs while the remaining have their fathers Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick. This is perhaps why all three of them are very young yet established drivers. But unlike Brexton, Keelan has his eyes set on something beyond NASCAR.

In an interview with The Athletic, NASCAR journalist Jeff Gluck had an interesting question reserved in store for Papa Harvick. He asked, “Each week, I ask a driver to give me a question for the next person. The last one I did was with Kyle Busch. And Kyle says, ‘What is something you would like to have different in Keelan’s racing path versus yours? Do you feel like you wanted to do something coming up that you didn’t get to do, but are going to make sure that Keelan does?‘”

Harvick answered, “Yeah, he needs to be able to race a lot of things. That’s really the path we’ve been on lately. He’s been racing the go-karts stuff here (in North Carolina), he’s messed around with the dirt car stuff here and there at Millbridge (a local track near Charlotte) and in the Legend car and is now headed to Europe next year to race his go-kart. And then things will evolve.”

10-year-old Keelan specifically has done a commendable job in taking forward the legacy that has been built by his father. While his main aim is to move to F1 eventually, he has already started making his mark in racing by taking part in go-kart racing. He is currently the driver of the No. 62 Hunt Brothers Pizza Go-Kart and has already taken a trip to Le Mans in France to race in the 2022 IAME World Finals.

The Berlin raceway is popular for bringing an extremely difficult track to race in, but it is admirable how drivers like Kyle Busch have ruled in it two times in a row. Fans can only hope that Harvick gives them a reason to cheer in his upcoming final races.
