Although Kevin Harvick is still racing and in the best form of his life, his son Keelan has begun racing. Now it appears that young Keelan is living up to the phrase, ‘Like Father, Like Son’.

At the Super Kart USA Winter Series, Harvick Jr won yet another race. He is in the karting scene, while Clint Bowyer and Kyle Busch‘s sons are racing in another discipline.

However, there will soon come a time when young Keelan graduates from karting to a higher form of racing. It is safe to say that Kevin Harvick is training the next generation of drivers.

Of course, it will take a very long time before he is ready for a NASCAR machine. This is in spite of the fact that the stock car series is the endgame when Keelan grows up.

Until then, the young boy just needs to steadily rise up the rankings and gain experience. Who knows, maybe there will come a day when he finds himself in a NASCAR machine, as a driver.

Kevin has given young Keelan a couple of rides during victory laps. Hopefully, there will come a time when Keelan is behind the wheel.

In 2o20, Kevin Harvick was in the form of his life, rocketing to nine wins in the season. Truthfully speaking, he should have been the 2020 Cup Series champion, after winning in the regular season. Unfortunately, things did not work in his favor during the playoffs, and he lost out.

Now, he heads into the new season with renewed purpose and more determined. On the other side of the coin, it could be difficult to try and replicate his nine-race-winning season in 2021.
