In NASCAR, where speeds reach exhilarating levels, there’s one driver who’s been equally adept at navigating the complex sponsorship landscape. Kevin Harvick, the man behind the wheel of the No. 4 SHR car, has a sponsorship portfolio worth nearly $800 billion. Yes, you read that right, a billion with a ‘B.’ But what’s the secret behind this colossal sponsorship success, you ask?

In a recent podcast episode of ‘Dirty Mo Media,’ Josh Jones, the Business Manager of ‘Kevin Harvick Inc.,’ revealed the secret behind Kevin Harvick’s remarkable ability to balance a sponsorship portfolio. During the conversation with hosts Mike Davis and Kelley Earnhardt Miller, Josh shed light on Kevin Harvick’s hands-on approach and the unique relationships he maintains with his sponsors.

Kevin Harvick’s personal approach to sponsorship

Imagine having $800 billion worth of sponsors, each with its own set of demands and expectations. For most, it’s a logistical nightmare. But not for Kevin Harvick. What sets him apart is his ability to turn sponsors into friends, transforming cold corporate partnerships into warm, personal connections. When Hunt Brothers Pizza calls, it’s not just business; it’s a chat with an old pal. This approach has allowed Harvick to create a sponsorship ecosystem where friendship fuels success.

During the podcast, Jones stated, “I mean, he’s (Kevin Harvick) started this company. But one thing about Kevin that you’ll learn that and you’ve known Kevin for a long time you two Kelley. It’s like it doesn’t matter if it’s he’s mad. He’s happy. He’s being a parent if somebody reaches out to him whether it’s work-related client related customer.”

“He will stop is what he’s doing and work on it and in this case he has a relationship with these sponsors they’re not just sponsors. They’re friends. They text Kevin after races whether he wins or lose those cinema texts and Kevin responds back He’s that kind of driver, that kind of owner of his management company that he communicates them directly.”

Josh also mentioned that unlike many others in the industry who rely on middlemen to manage sponsor relationships, the 2007 Daytona 500 Winner has always maintained a direct line of communication with his sponsors. When sponsors like Hunt Brothers Pizza want to discuss something, they don’t go through intermediaries – they reach out to Kevin directly. This open and direct relationship is a testament to Kevin’s commitment to his sponsors and his hands-on approach to managing his company.
