Kevin Harvick had a lot of time to think about his retirement. The 48-year-old driver spent a lot of time in the NASCAR Cup Series. Harvick is now officially done and is moving on to his role in the broadcast booth.
A champion. One of NASCAR’s 75 Greatest Drivers. Kevin Harvick left a legacy that few in the sport have ever come close to achieving. Still, there are those things that every athlete wants to be remembered for. No matter how much success they had in their career.
For Harvick, it’s simple – he hopes to have the respect of his peers.
“If I’m remembered, that’s good enough for me,” Harvick said in a Mobil 1 video. “As you go through your career you want to be able to do enough things where people will remember your name and pull your videos up and look at the records – and just have some impact scattered over the record books and the sport.
“It’s important to have the respect of your peers and them knowing that you were competitive and fierce and also fair and had a firm understanding of the sport and the history of the sport and respecting the things that come with NASCAR racing.”
