Why It Is “Business as Usual” for Kevin Harvick Even in NASCAR Retirement

In his final year as a NASCAR Cup Series driver, Kevin Harvick has surely made incredible memories on almost every track on the calendar this year. Be it the tracks, teams, and most of all fans, the #4 driver has been honored throughout the country. Incredibly, his children might have made some special memories themselves. Being in the public eye at such a young age can get overwhelming for some, but not Harvick’s daughter Piper.

Piper, who has been present at many tracks along with mother DeLana and brother Keelan, has handled herself in an impressive way in the spotlight. This was pretty visible at Homestead, where her behavior was praised during the Drivers Meeting.

The race at Homestead was renamed 4EVER 400 by Mobil1 as a tribute to Kevin Harvick, so it was understandable that the 2014 champion’s family would mark their attendance. Piper Harvick even made her way to the Drivers Meeting, where she sat attentively, listening carefully to the instructions.

Veteran journalist Claire B Lang posted, I just cannot get enough of Piper Harvick sitting w all those drivers. She 100% focused on every single word of the Drivers Meeting instructions! #4EVER400 Race b’cast underway @SiriusXMNASCAR” 

And not just that. Lang also hailed DeLana for the way Piper handled herself in a room where most children her age could feel intimidated.

@DeLanaHarvick you have such a well behaved little girl there. I know you say she is sassy etc.. but you have to be proud when she goes to a Driver’s Meeting and handles herself so well,” she posted.

DeLana Harvick responds to Lang’s praise

Like her husband, DeLana Harvick is also social media savvy, and naturally, she responded to the SiriusXM NASCAR journalist.

DeLana replied, “Thank you Claire. She DOES pay attention! She will always tell us some things she learned and correct Pops if he gets anything wrong.”

Harvick has been incredibly vocal in the past about his children having a calming influence on him as a driver and as a human being. And by the looks of it, he and DeLana have been perfect role models for their children.
