The 2023 season will be Kevin Harvick’s 23rd and final year as a NASCAR Cup Series driver. The 47-year-old racer will retire after the season finale on Nov. 5 at Phoenix Raceway. Known as “The Closer,” Harvick begins his last season in NASCAR’s premier division tied for ninth on the Cup Series’ all-time win list with 60 point-paying victories. He is only 99 laps shy of leading a staggering 16,000 laps in his career – one of only 11 drivers in the history of the sport to do so – and the Bakersfield, California native is slated to make his 800th career Cup Series start April 23 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway. We sit down with Harvick to hear in his own words why now is the right time to close out his career — and hear what he wants his defining legacy to be. #4EVER #nascar #kevinharvick #motorsports
