Harvick Family- A heartwarming glimpse that shifted focus

DeLana Harvick stands out among NASCAR wives as she frequently joins races, wearing a custom-made fire suit atop the pit box. She’s the daughter of former Busch Series driver John Linville, though racing herself wasn’t her calling.

Her career took a different path as she initially worked in public relations with Randy LaJoie and Jeff Gordon. It was during this time that she crossed paths with Kevin. DeLana and Kevin tied the knot in 2001, shortly after Kevin’s Cup debut. They shared a passion for racing, leading them to establish their own race team.
