Kevin Harvick wants to follow Jeff Gordon into NASCAR broadcast booth
The 2014 champion will call eight races this season
Kevin Harvick doesn’t plan to leave his post at Stewart-Haas Racing anytime soon, but he believes he has a future in television once retirement comes calling.
The 2014 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion was announced as a television analyst for eight FOX Sports Xfinity and Truck Series broadcasts this season. His part-time duties start with the Xfinity season opener at Daytona on Feb. 25.
He will also join the FS1 NASCAR Race Hub crew during the season, highlighting a rotating panel of current drivers and crew chiefs to discuss the latest news in stock-car racing. The 35-race Cup Series winner says he’s made such a large commitment because he’s trying to prepare himself for life after NASCAR.
"I really enjoy calling races," Harvick said. "I enjoy the perspective of sitting up there and trying to figure out what’s going on. I also want to be a part of watching these young guys come up through the NASCAR Camping World Truck and Xfinity Series and have the experience of having been in the booth when they raced because, ultimately, it’s something I want to do down the road when I’m done driving."
