Harvick Officially Named to NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2027

Charlotte (May 19, 2026) - Kevin Harvick has officially secured his place among NASCAR’s immortals. On Tuesday, the Bakersfield, California native was voted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame as a member of the prestigious Class of 2027, cementing a legacy that spans more than two decades of excellence at NASCAR’s highest level.

One of the most accomplished drivers of the modern era, Harvick retired from full-time NASCAR Cup Series competition with 60 career Cup Series victories, ranking 11th on the sport’s all-time wins list. His crowning achievement came in 2014 when he captured the NASCAR Cup Series championship in his first season driving for Stewart-Haas Racing.

Harvick’s résumé is highlighted by some of NASCAR’s most prestigious victories, including the 2007 Daytona 500, three Brickyard 400 triumphs and multiple wins in additional crown jewel events such as the Southern 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 (twice).

Known for his consistency, toughness and ability to deliver in the sport’s biggest moments, Harvick became one of the defining competitors of his generation.

His impact extended far beyond the Cup Series. In the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, Harvick earned two championships and collected 47 victories, ranking third on the series’ all-time wins list. He also found success in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, where he earned 14 victories as a driver and added three championships as a team owner.

From championship-winning driver to respected team owner and ambassador for the sport as a current NASCAR on FOX analyst, Harvick’s influence on NASCAR has been felt across every corner of the garage. Now, his Hall of Fame selection serves as the final stop in one of the most decorated careers in NASCAR history. 

Harvick’s ceremonial induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame as a member will take place on Friday, Jan. 22, 2027, alongside XXX as the Class of 2027 inductees.
