In January, [autotag]Kevin Harvick[/autotag] announced that he would retire from full-time racing in the NASCAR Cup Series at the conclusion of the 2023 season. Once that happens, Harvick will join the FOX Sports booth in 2024 next to Mike Joy and Clint Bowyer. Well, it is almost November and the sun is beginning to set on the Stewart-Haas Racing driver’s career.
Harvick will go to Phoenix Raceway for his final full-time NASCAR race this weekend. Ironically, Phoenix happens to be his best race track as he has nine wins at the venue over his career. In fact, the next closest driver in the wins list at Phoenix is Jimmie Johnson but he has five less than Harvick. In March, he was on track to add a 10th win before a caution with 11 laps to go.
It is quite fitting that Harvick will end his career at a place where he has seen so much success. The 2023 NASCAR season may not have gone his way but it is still a good ending for one of the sport’s legendary drivers. Harvick will look to close out his full-time career with a victory at Phoenix and no one would truly be shocked if he could go out on top.
