2Biography - About KEVIN HARVICK - "Happy Harvick" "The Closer"
Kevin Harvick is a veteran driver in the NASCAR Cup Series currently with Stewart-Haas Racing. The 2021 season will be his 21st in the Premier Series and eight with SHR driving the No. 4 Mustang. As one of the most successful stock car racing teams, Harvick is part of a dynamic foursome that includes Chase Briscoe, Aric Almirola, and Cole Custer. Briscoe moves up from the Xfinity Series to replace Clint Bowyer, who retired and moves into the television booth.
Kevin Harvick - Racing Career
Harvick began racing carts at the age of 5, winning seven national titles and two Grand National championships. He won the 1993 late model title at Mesa Marin Raceway in his hometown and was the NASCAR Southwest Series Rookie of the Year in 1995. Harvick also added another Rookie of the Year trophy in the Xfinity Series in 2000.
In 2001, his first career Cup start was at Rockingham Speedway, NASCAR’s second event. Few will remember that he finished P14 because earlier in the week, Richard Childress selected him to replace the legendary Dale Earnhardt, who died in a Daytona 500 crash. They were big shoes to fill, but he responded by winning twice, the first one in just his third start for RCR. He beat race laps leader Jeff Gordon at Atlanta Motor Speedway. His second would come at Chicago.
Kevin Harvick - Records
Harvick’s Touring Series career began in 1999 at the age of 19 in what is now known as the Camping World Truck Series. Since then, he has found the winner’s circle 119 times. A winner of the 2007 Daytona 500, Harvick won the Cup Series title in 2014 and has qualified for the Championship 4 five times in the last seven seasons. He finished fifth last season after barely missing out in the Round of 8 finale despite a series-best and career-high nine victories.

Watkins Glen International
Watkins Glen International, nicknamed "The Glen", is an automobile race track located in the town of Dix just southwest of the village of Watkins Glen, New York, at the southern tip of Seneca Lake. It was long known around the world as the home of the Formula One United States Grand Prix, which it hosted for twenty consecutive years (1961–1980). In addition, the site has also been home to road racing of nearly every class, including the World Sportscar Championship, Trans-Am, Can-Am, NASCAR Cup Series, the International Motor Sports Association and the IndyCar Series. The facility is currently owned by NASCAR.
The course was opened in 1956 to host auto races previously held on public roads in and around the village. The circuit's current layout has more or less been the same since 1971, with minor modifications after the fatal crashes of François Cevert in 1973 and J.D. McDuffie in 1991.
The circuit is a Mecca of North American road racing and is a popular venue among fans and drivers.
Success after success followed, with wins and podium finishes in CART and the International Race of Champions. Meanwhile, Gordon became increasingly involved in NASCAR’s Winston Cup. From 1991 on, he drove for various Winston Cup teams, until in 2000 he formed his own team, running seventeen events. After impressive performances in both 2001 Winston Cup road races, Gordon was signed to drive RCR’s Number 31 Lowe’s Chevrolet to finish out the season, and he snagged his first Winston Cup oval track top-10, plus a victory at New Hampshire. The decision to run all thirty-four Winston Cup races in 2002 was a no-brainer, and Number 31 roared to five top-10 finishes, including a third place at Watkins Glen. The 2003 season proved equally exciting, as Gordon outduelled Jeff Gordon for a stunning victory at Sonoma and became only the fourth driver to win both Winston Cup road races in a single year.
