Stepped in at the sports darkest moment. Left a hell of a legacy

I’ve never seen Harvick cry, that’s a first. Truly a tough as nails driver who put one hell of a career together. You weren’t my favorite, but you’re a respected driver through and through. Thank you Kevin for an incredible career

Bro I’ve never seen him emotional that’s crazy

Damn. The last of the Winston Cup era drivers is gone

A true legend. Nothing but respect for you. You’ll be missed

First ballot 🗳️ NASCAR Hall of famer Kevin Harvick 😊

Thank you Kevin Harvick for all the years in Nascar and your contributions to the sport! Your a class act, and a great embassador to the sport! Enjoy your retirement!!!

Damn...this made me tear up a lot more than I expected. The end of an era....excited about the future but damn....end of an era...

Cheers To You Kevin Harvick For One Heck Of A Career!!!!!!!

Hat's off to a great career. Great spokesman for the sport

guy will always have a special spot in a lot of people's hearts. The man that took over for Dale. And his first win right after. Dale was there withm having a beer.

I coached high school wrestling in California for over 30 years. On the wall in the Bakersfield Arena, where the state meet is held, is an article giving tribute to Harvick. It mentions that in his senior year he made it to the medal round (top 8) which is VERY difficult to do, and he left the arena. It was opening night at Mesa Marin Speedway and he was the defending track champion. His coach understood.

As a Jimmie Johnson fan, words cannot express how much i respect Kevin. As the next runner up with RCR back in 2001, it was a soothing feeling seeing young talent step up in the footsteps of The Intimidator to win a race so fast at the start of his Winston Cup career! Kevin was satisfying to see dominate during the pandemic era lol. But deep down in my heart, Kevin was always a legend. It was nice watching him compete during the days when I was a teenager and times were much simpler back then. Thanks for the memories Kevin!

Not gonna lie, I'll miss him on Sundays. Cheers to an amazing career, Mr. Harvick🥂

I was thrilled when he took the lead earlier in the race. It was so great to see Harv compete and be competitive one last time. It was an honor being your fan, Harv! Happy retirement!

Mr. Kevin Harvick, Thank you for being a racer and the person you are! Since the first time you raced after Dale I have always been a fan!! Thank you for the memories and good luck in your well deserved retirement from NASCAR!! THANK YOU!!!

I shed a tear today, been following Kevin since that amazing first win at Atlanta in 2001.

Thank you, Kevin Harvick, for all the wonderful years in Nascar you are the man (Freaky Fast) God bless you and your family........

Been watching NASCAR on the television since it was first broadcast, Harvick is certainly one of the most memorable ones for me and I'll miss him being in a race car.

I remember his very 1st race. And now his last. What a career.

I’m the biggest Harvick fan in the world. Truly an emotional day for me

Forever a closer Forever happy Forever a champion Forever, Kevin Harvick

Kevin You will still always be my favorite NASCAR driver of all time

Damn u Harvick Iv never been a fan but u got me teary-eyed today acouple times. I may not have cheared for u but I'll still miss watching u race every week. Thanks for the memories.

I’ve Never liked Harvick, But this really got me a bit emotional to. Thanks for being a part of this sports history

I wasn't a fan but today I was rooting for Kevin to win the race. He is and awsome driver and will be missed

Congratulations on a great career.

Harvick had the weight of the world on his shoulders and big shoes to fill in February of 2001. He made the most of it. What a career! Congratulations, Kevin, and best wishes on your endeavors with major NASCAR network coverage.

Congratulations and Thank You for an incredible career. You helped us Earnhardt fans when shit went sideways and you carried the torch. Enjoy retirement and best wishes for the off season and we will see you in the booth next year

The first NASCAR race I ever watched was Rockingham 2001. Glad that Kevin was able to go out on his own terms. What a great career.

Great career - came into the sport just when we needed him.

Always be remembered as one of the greats! One hell of a career.!

I am going to miss Kevin Harvick, it is the ONLY reason why I watch nascar racing. Now who will I be for since he is gonna be gone. 😭I love you Kevin. Shhhh, I have a crush on Kevin Harvick. Such a good looking guy.

Farewell Harvick congrats on a hall of fame career

Congrats to you Kevin.. You had a GREAT career.

God bless Kevin for a great performance in 2023 as he will always shine with love ❤️ 💯🔥🔥🫶👏✨️🙌😘👏😉

Great watching you race all these years.Need more driver's like you Kevin 🏁 All the best too you and your family God bless all your days ✝️🕊️🇺🇸

Enjoy your retirement Kevin harvick #4🏁🏁🏁🏁🏆🍸

Man what a ride , thanks for all the hard work and dedication to us 3 fans that became Harvick fans well done

Farewell Harvick. It's been a good run watching him race in person at Richmond and in Martinsville.

I remember watching you on your very first cup race and thought this guy is something special and you didn’t let down ..you will be missed

Thank you Kevin for everything you have done. You were a fantastic racer will miss seeing you on the track racing.

He will be missed remember seeing him in ASA, Bush and Cup. His first win in Atlanta was so bad ass. This makes me feel so old.

A true legend he did a lot for nascar #4ever

Respect

Thanks for all the great memories Kevin. Your one of the great ones.

Thank you Kevin, enjoy your retirement. You’ve definitely earned it. Good luck on your endeavors as a commentator for NASCAR!

AND he STILL kept his streak of top 10s going at Phoenix. He went down swinging, what a legend.

I remember when KH hit NASCAR in 01, taking over for the late Dale Earnhardt, driving the 29 Goodwrench, that was emotional for a lot of Earnhardt fans, now to see him finally retire and enjoy a moment with his team and friends is again an emotional sight, thank you Kevin Harvick for the memories and the racing legacy your leaving behind! Enjoy your time with your family and enjoy your retirement! 🇺🇸

Thanks for the memories Kevin.

Thank you Kevin for representing what I think a driver/competitior should be and never compromising. Tough, clean when you were driven clean and rough when you were driven rough. Spoke what was on your mind to whoever needed it. This is why you are so respected. Other driver's need to look at this career and whether you agree with it or not it, you can't deny that this is a huge reason why he has been successful for his entire career. Not to be ignored is that he is a great father and husband. The love that he has for his family and they for him is evident!!

When I got into the sport, you were racing the #29 Pennzoil car for Richard Childress. You have been my favorite dtiver since then. I was devastated when you gave up that beautiful looking car. Taking the place of Dale Earnhardt was a big task. Thanks for the memories Harvick. Last of the old breed.

I can remember when he started raining in Nascar just after my man Earnhardt left us all. What a terrible day in my life. Number 3 is still alive. .3 ! Hell yeah!!!

So ends the Winston Cup group…. Next is the Nextel Cup guys. Ky Busch. Truex, Hamlin.

I live in Phx, been to the track many many times...You owned that track no one raced it like you did... You're a class act. See you in the booth next season... 29/4... The closer...

I was one of the skeptics when he jumped into the sport in the 29 car ( 3 car) He took the challenge and made it his own , then driving for Stewart/Hass racing, great way to finish his career. Looking forward to Busch making a commemorative Busch light can !

I get it, he's got a beer sponsor, but I feel like even if he didn't he would've had that cooler of beer with the crew after seeing how Jr. did his farewell toast... It's just a classy way to celebrate that moment.

First time I saw Kevin Harvick was about 1988 , go kart racing in Southern California, he must have been an IKF junior 1, just a little kid standing there with a big helmet ….. history showed he grew into that helmet just fine.

He will be forever in the history books as a nascar champion 🏆

So AWESOME...Congratulations Kevin Harvick...💙💙💙...You're a GREAT 1 man..!!!

All those good drivers is leaving nascar 😢

Always a class act and true champion. Good character, man! Much respect, sir.

The end of an era, thanks for the memories, Kevin!!!

I watched you Mr. Kevin Harvick though the years,, a great racer,, a damn good man,, enjoy your retirement ,,, we love man ,,,, thank you ...

Even though Kevin didn't win a championship he is still a legend

The NASCAR community will miss you as a driver.

much respect to a true legend, icon, etc. -- that was instant karma for filling the seat of an icon that was tragically lost.. but idk anyone who could have did it any better.. salute

I wish NBC would cover half of the important moments that you have all season, as a loyal long-time weekly NASCAR fan, thank you.

Wow, I've never seen him this emotional. Thanks for the many years he's given to this sport, and I will sure miss him on the track. All the drivers I grew up watching are retiring, I don't know who to cheer anymore...

know this was kind of a private moment for Kevin. But my gosh I would have loved to have seen Joey Logono raise a beer for Kevin and take a sip with the rest of those guys. Love him or hate him Kevin was a good racer and a great man off the track. He's got so much to be grateful for. I'm sure Dale Sr. would be very proud of him if he were still alive today.

We might miss "Happy Harvick" behind the wheel, but at least we'll hear him in commentary next year ;) Well done & congrats on your stellar driving career.

Thank you Kevin for many good years !

It’s a lot of talent in the seat with a vary good hearted guy-that has been in our lives for years and years , thank❤ you Kevin Harvick ,,,we will see you in the both next year buddy thanks merry Christmas 🎄 thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏

one of my favorites. nice work through your whole career. goodbye, kevin!

WHY U GOTTA LEAVE US MAN WE LOVE YOU HARVICK

Thank you Kevin Harvick

One helluva race car driver! One helluva great person! One helluva guy for his next chapter in life!. Thank you Kevin Harvick for all the exciting racing you gave us over your nascar career!, you will go down in the history books!.

It's cool to see Rodney there and being a successful crew chief.....I raced karts with.....well, against him back in 1995-96. He was a factory driver for Olimpic Karts back then. The factory colors were purple and white with some yellow. I remember when the Olimpic 007 come out and Rodney was kicking everyone's ass and won the championship in three classes in WKA in the same season. I remember Daytona that same year we were down there and there were like 280-300 karts entered and Rodney cleaned up. I seen him a few years ago at the Phoenix Cup race, I had hot passes for the garage and I talked to him about it and he laughed and said "man that was a looong time ago". It was cool to see how successful he become from racing karts. I knew he was smart as hell with the karts back then, he wasn't just the driver, he was working on them and was the setup guy etc.

Going out with twenty top tens in a row is arguably better than a win. Either way, what an icon, one of the best ever.

Was never really a fan but definitely respected his game. Looking forward to his Hall of Fame induction. Thanks gor the ride.

Thank you Kevin for an amazing career

Thanks for the memories, Kevin ! A true class act

Ok, I said I wasn't going to cry and I did. I wore one of my Kevin Harvick tees 😊 to say thank you is not enough. Amazing career for The Closer and Freaky Fast ; enjoy retirement 😊

You s.o.b. I told my parents the afternoon dale was announced he was gone that you were going to drive the car. Been a loyal fan of yours 4 ever and thanks for the memories man. 4 ever harvick!!!!!

And just like that. 22 years and its over! 😢

The smile on his face during the Raceday broadcast on FS1 made everything come full circle. We called him “Happy” for having such a bug up his ass in the 2000s. Now, we can actually say for certain that he’s happy now. Thank you so much for making my childhood awesome!

Enjoy alittle time with the fam....you deserve it. Always a racer.

Like watching your old man cry. I miss him already. Congratulations.

Harvick will forever have a place in my heart!! The balls it took to step into that 29 car and try to replace a legend made this guy one of my favorite drivers of all time!! He was truly fearless!!

God speed brother. Thank you for all your great entertainment Kevin Harvick 👍 . You will truly be missed

End of an era for a lot of us. So sad to see him go.

From the minute you signed with SHR, you became my favorite driver and man what a show you put together these past 10 years. You will be sorely missed my man. Good luck to you and your family in the future.

No one had bigger shoes to fill when they came into Nascar. As a die hard Earnhardt fan I’m grateful for Harvick and all he was able to accomplish and he did it with class. We are going to miss you !

Thanks for the memories Kevin. You are a top notch driver and human being. Peace be with you.

Thank You Kevin For All The Wonderful Years Of Racing In NASCAR. Being A True Kevin Harvick Fan, This Is A Very Bittersweet Day. Of Course, This Is A Sad Day That Kevin’s Full Time Racing Career Is Over. However, Kevin, You Have Raced Many Years And Have Had A Great Career. You Deserve To End Your Career On Your Teams. I Will be Watching Your Son Continue The Harvick Name In Racing For Years To Come!! To Kevin, God Bless You And Your Family, You Will Always Be My Champion!!!🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

I will definitely miss Kevin Harvick 😢 😪 this is the end of his excellent NASCAR Career. He was my favorite Stewart-Haas Racing 🏁 Driver after Tony Stewart retired. #4ever
