After Harvick’s bittersweet farewell from the sport, it looks like his 11-year-old young blood is looking to inherit the throne from his father. And to add to that, Keelan has also got his career well secured, with Harvick’s legendary mentor Ron Hornaday Jr looking after the youngster just like he did for his father. Harvick’s young racer might be the most blessed out of the young lot, with both his father and his mentor being by his side to show him the way.

While the youngster is steadily making a name for himself, racking up titles and accolades one after the others in legend car and midget car circles, Harvick has got his son the best guru he could.
