Toyota Racing Development (TRD) has signed 13‑year‑old Keelan Harvick, son of former Cup champion Kevin Harvick, to a long‑term driver development contract. The third‑generation racer, who had been pursuing a European karting path, shifted focus after a karting event in Italy that highlighted the appeal of U.S. motorsports.
TRD will pair Harvick with RACKLEY W.A.R. and Kevin Harvick, Inc. for a schedule of late‑model races, driving the No. 62 Toyota Camry backed by ExxonMobil. The program aims to prepare him for the Cup Series, following in his father's footsteps.
