Keelan Harvick, 13, has reached a long-term development deal with Toyota Racing Development that will support his continued growth through late model racing and broader stockcar competition.

In the agreement announced Monday, Harvick will remain part of the Toyota Racing family and compete in numerous late model events this season alongside Rackley W.A.R. and Kevin Harvick, Inc.

He will drive the No. 62 Toyota Camry with ExxonMobil listed as a primary sponsor for several races. 

“I’m really grateful to have this kind of opportunity with Toyota Racing Development,” Harvick said in a statement.

“To have their support and be able to represent ExxonMobil, it doesn’t get much better. I’m still getting experience, but it’s going to be a privilege to be part of the TRD program and learn from the other drivers.” 

The agreement formalizes Harvick’s place in Toyota’s driver development pipeline, which has produced many great drivers now racing at the highest levels of NASCAR.

As a Toyota Driver Development (TD2) member, he will also have access to resources at the Toyota Performance Center, encompassing physical training, sports psychology and recovery services. 

Harvick already has etched his name into grassroots racing history.

Last December, he became the youngest driver to win the Snowflake 125 at Five Flags Speedway.

Earlier this month he added another milestone by becoming the youngest winner of the Icebreaker at Florence Motor Speedway, marking his first victory in the Late Model Stock Car division. 

In 2025, Harvick won multiple races in both the zMAX CARS Tour Pro Late Model and CARS Tour West Pro Late Model Series, becoming the first driver to capture Pro Late Model victories in both tours in the same season. 

Toyota Racing President Tyler Gibbs said the organization sees “a bright future ahead” for Harvick, praising his professionalism and work ethic.

The long-term nature of the contract is designed to give Harvick stability as he progresses through the ranks of stock car racing. 

Harvick’s path reflects a mixture of his family ties and on-track success.

The young driver is the son of NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick, and his early success have drawn attention both for his performance and potential. 

As Harvick continues to compete this year, his Toyota backing—combined with experience gained through a packed late model schedule—positions him to be a name to watch as he moves toward higher levels of NASCAR competition.
