CHARLOTTE, NC (SNN-TV) – Kevin Harvick, the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion, announced this morning that the 2023 season will be his last as a full-time driver.

In a video on social media, Harvick stated that “A new chapter is calling. One where being a dad and a husband takes precedence over being a driver. But that chapter is still a year away. There’s still more to be written.”

The coming NASCAR season, which officially begins Feb. 19 with the Daytona 500, will be Harvick’s 23rd as a competitor in NASCAR’s premier series and his 10th with Stewart-Haas Racing.

The 47-year old Harvick is the oldest active full-time driver at the Cup level.
