In 2025, Keelan Harvick will change to full-bodied stock cars for the first time, competing in Pro Late Models. His team includes Kevin Harvick Inc. and Rackley W.A.R., with cars built with their partnership. Keelan got his first taste of stock car racing in November 2024 at Florence Motor Speedway, where he raced in a Limited Late Model. He finished eighth in the race. Reflecting on the race, he shared,

“There was definitely a lot of stuff I could take away [from Florence]. I learned that I need to be better at tire-saving and more aggressive later as the race goes” (via NASCAR.com).

His father, Kevin Harvick, acknowledged that the family underestimated Keelan’s capabilities in his debut. He noted being impressed with how Keelan handled the demanding conditions at Florence Motor Speedway, a track known for its abrasive surface and heavy wear on tires and equipment.

“We should have just let him go out there and not tell him what to do. I don’t think we all expected him to do as well as he did. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the first outing” (via NASCAR.com).

As per the interview with nascar.com, Keelan Harvick's focus for the 2025 season is to adapt to stock car racing. He credits his father’s advice on consistency and smooth driving for his growth as a driver, saying,

“[My dad] is really big on being smooth and trying to be consistent. That’s really helped me through my career” (via NASCAR.com).

Harvick’s schedule for the year includes a return to Florence Motor Speedway for the Icebreaker event in February, as well as various Pro Late Model races across the East and West Coasts. Racing alongside his father in select events is another exciting aspect of his season.
