Keelan Harvick is a second-generation racer following the path forged by his father, multi-time NASCAR champion Kevin Harvick. The elder Harvick began racing go-karts in his hometown of Bakersfield, California, in 1982. Thirty-eight years later in Mooresville, North Carolina, a seven-year-old Keelan made his racing debut on May 20, 2020 in a go-kart at GoPro Motorplex. He qualified on the pole and finished eighth, and having been firmly bitten by the racing bug, the now eight-year-old Keelan has been relentless behind the wheel, emulating the same tenacity his dad has displayed for nearly three decades in NASCAR.
