Toyota Racing Development signs Keelan Harvick to long-term deal

13-year-old Keelan Harvick has officially signed a long-term contract with Toyota Racing Development to pursue a career in NASCAR.

Keelan Harvick, son of 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick, will begin his development this year with RACKLEY W.A.R. and Kevin Harvick, Inc., competing in late model races nationwide.

The young driver shifted his focus to American motorsports after an incident at a karting event in Italy involving Charles Leclerc, deciding a career in the U.S. was the right path.
