Under the title of “Kevin Harvick 4Ever A Champion”, NASCAR HOF will exhibit six cars, including the firesuits and helmets that the legendary driver has used throughout his career, and more from December 2023 to the spring of 2024.
The Hall of Fame will also display firesuits and helmets from Kurt Busch’s career under the title, “Kurt Busch: Celebrating a Champion”. The famous two-storied case that stands in between the “Inside NASCAR” and Heritage Speedway galleries will display these timeless racing accessories throughout 2024.
Winston Kelley, the Executive Director of the NASCAR Hall of Fame said, “As a part of the NASCAR Hall of Fame’s mission, we are honored to serve as the recognized home for honoring NASCAR’s legends, evolving history, celebrated heritage, and family-oriented traditions.”
Kelley was grateful toward Harvick and Busch just for the fact that they had preserved so much of their personal histories and had entrusted the Hall of Fame team to share a portion of their remarkable careers with the guests.
According to the 2014 Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick, these exhibits signify the levels a driver needs to pass to advance from racing go-karts to the Cup Series and hence, will add value to the careers of budding racers who strive to make it big in NASCAR.
“To have all those cars sitting together in the NASCAR Hall of Fame is exactly why we restored them and saved them; because they all represent such a special part of the ladder system and the steppingstone to the next level, all the way from the go-karts through Cup,” he explained.
