Last year, Kevin Harvick hung up his helmet on a storied career that’s a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame. Though it’s only been a short while since he stepped away, whispers are that Harvick’s already feeling the itch to get back in the driver’s seat. For now, Kevin Harvick is set to put on the analyst hat, ready to share his thoughts at Daytona. But there’s a buzz from his camp at Kevin Harvick Inc., hinting they’re gearing up for a full-throttle return to the track in 2024, eyeing the Super Late Model and Late Model Stock circuits throughout the year. But the question remains: will Harvick himself take a spin or two in the races?

Is Kevin Harvick eyeing a spot behind the wheel in his racing outfit?

Harvick, with his KHI Management roster brimming with talent from rookies to seasoned pros, sees diving back into the fray as the perfect storm. “With KHI Management representing drivers with all levels of experience, it felt like a good opportunity to jump back into full-time competition. We love to compete, and it brings all aspects of our businesses together on the track,” he shared.

Kevin Harvick Inc. is preparing a No. 62 Late Model Stock car with a driver lineup that reads like a who’s who of NASCAR: Cup Series contender Josh Berry, Truck Series talent Layne Riggs, freshly minted 2023 ARCA East champ William Sawalich, and rising star Landen Lewis. But that’s not all. The team’s also setting sights on Super Late Model showdowns throughout 2024, with Berry, Sawalich, Lewis, and Berry’s Stewart-Haas Racing comrade Ryan Preece taking turns at the helm of the #62 and #29 machines.
