Kevin Harvick overcame a “deathly” illness to compete in the CARS Tour Super Late Model race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. As he reflected on the experience during his podcast, Harvick admitted to the severe illness he and his team endured leading up to the race weekend. Despite battling intense nausea and discomfort, Harvick secured a remarkable fourth-place finish.
The CARS Tour West event was Harvick’s debut in this series, held at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Harvick, who retired from full-time NASCAR Cup Series racing, is enjoying his time in Late Model racing, a passion he shares with his son, Keelan.
On the morning of the race, Harvick was struck by a debilitating sickness that had affected his entire team, coming from his son earlier that week.
“We went to Vegas Wednesday morning and I was excited about my Late Model race for the weekend. So, I got to run my first CARS Tour West event. And Friday morning I got deathly sick… It was probably the most miserable I’ve ever been in a race car in my whole career,” Harvick admitted. “I don’t know what we got, but it wiped everybody out.”
