In honor of their daughter Piper Grace’s seventh birthday, DeLana Harvick, the wife of former NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick, recently posted a heartfelt tribute on social media. Following the 2023 Cup Series season, Kevin Harvick announced his retirement, capping an incredible career in motorsport.
In 2000, Kevin Harvick went to Michigan International Speedway for a race weekend and met his wife, DeLana. Shortly before Harvick’s Cup Series debut, on February 28, 2001, the couple exchanged vows. Keelan Paul Harvick, born July 8, 2012, and Piper Grace Harvick, born December 28, 2017, are their two children together. Together with two cats and three dogs, their family makes for a lively and affectionate home.
The youngest Harvick in the home of the NASCAR champion just celebrated her seventh birthday. Delana Harvick celebrated the significant day by posting a couple pictures of Piper Grace with her brother Paul on X (previously Twitter). “To my sassy, self-reliant, funny, spicy, affectionate, no-nonsense little redhead, happy seventh birthday.
She commented on X, “I am so thankful that God chose me to be your mother.” One of NASCAR’s greatest drivers of all time is the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion. He has made more than 800 Cup Series appearances and won 60 of them, including the coveted Daytona 500.
In addition, Kevin Harvick won the 2020 regular-season championship and won two championships in the Xfinity Series. His reputation as one of the most successful drivers in motorsport is cemented by these accomplishments. After retiring, Harvick and two-time Xfinity Series champion Dale Earnhardt Jr. now co-own the zMAX CARS Tour. The two NASCAR icons are constantly striving to improve their recently acquired grassroots racing series.
In addition, the 49-year-old hosts the FOX-sponsored “Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour” podcast, where he talks about all things NASCAR. Kevin Harvick recently expressed his opinions about the Cup Series’ current playoff structure, which has gotten a lot of attention when Team Penske’s #22 driver Joey Logano won the 2024 championship title, his third victory in NASCAR’s top division.
The #22 driver’s average finish of 17.11, the lowest of the four championship drivers, made Logano’s season statistically the weakest by a champion in the sport’s history and caused disagreement among the NASCAR community. Two weeks ago, during an interview with Motorsports on NBC, Harvick provided insight into the current playoff structure. “You know, I believe that our playoff system is mostly centered on winning when I look at how it currently operates. The former champion remarked, “I wish we had a little more balance with the regular season and those 26 weeks of what that regular season championship means.”
We have brackets for 16, 12, 8, and 4 (the elimination stages), and I wish it meant a little bit more. So in the end, the winner gets it all,” he continued.
