Kevin Harvick Inc. and Rackley W.A.R. have announced a partnership that will include former NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick being a consultant for the team’s Craftsman Truck Series entry.
The partnership begins in 2025 and will focus on the Craftsman Truck Series and Late Model program. Harvick and his son, Keelan, will join the driver line-up for the Super Late Model and Pro Late Model programs. Dawson Sutton, an 18-year-old rookie who has made four starts this season, will be the full-time driver of the Truck Series team.
“Although KHI had some success this year in the Late Model Stock world, the Pros and Supers are different animals,” Harvick said. “We still plan to have a presence in the CARS Tour next year, but Rackley W.A.R. has a solid and proven track record that will drastically improve the learning curve for Keelan and I in the Super and Pro Late Models.
“In return, I hope that my years of owning and operating a championship-winning truck program will help shorten Dawson’s learning curve in his rookie truck season and positively impact their truck program. We look forward to working with Willie and the Sutton family in 2025.”

The late model schedule for Kevin and Keelan Harvick will be announced at a later date.
“Teaming up with Kevin Harvick is a game-changer for us at Rackley W.A.R.,” said co-owner Willie Allen. “His experience as a champion driver and owner brings an incredible amount of knowledge that will help elevate our truck program to the next level. Having Keelan and Kevin join our Late Model team next season is just as exciting. We’re not just building a partnership — we’re building a future. There’s no doubt this collaboration will drive success, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.”
“It’s exciting to have this opportunity present itself,” said co-owner Curtis Sutton. “In our fifth year as an organization, Rackley W.A.R. is taking strategic steps for a successful 2025 and beyond. Kevin is the first link of many more to come. He will help Willie and I guide the Late Model and NASCAR Truck Series team for long-term success.
“As you strive to grow any business, you have to surround yourself with exceptional people and winners. Kevin and his family have both traits. Kevin has been a winner in everything he has done. I know this is going to be a great partnership for Rackley W.A.R. and KHI’s employees, drivers, vendors, sponsors, and all of our fans.”
