Kevin Harvick turns 45 today, and what a career he has had in NASCAR. He is one of the most respected figures in the premier stock racing division, and merits a lot of credit, even from his rivals, for his race craft and demeanor.

He also has an adorable family that his fans over the world admire and adore. Harvick’s son Keelan has even accompanied his father to a few racing venues and has occasionally taken a ride in the race cars.

Speaking at an event early last year, Harvick recounted one instance where Keelan drove an electric razor bike. Safe to say, the latter relishes riding his bike on mudder days!

Harvick is quoted as saying, “We were on the little razor, the electric razor and he was going up the hill. And it wouldn’t go up the hill and he was kicking his feet. So we went to the motorcycle shop.”

Keelan Harvick also recently made his karting debut early this year, which Harvick senior shared via his Twitter handle as well. Having turned eight years old, Keelan is now in a whole new world of discovering driving and the fun that comes along with it!

The Stewart-Haas No.4 continued and said, “And then we left and I was not home when the jumps were built. So the jumps got built and the next thing I see is a video of his jumping and I was like, it was ‘this is your fault’.”

“He likes it. Yeah, so his favorite days are the mudder days,” concluded Harvick.
