Kevin Harvick Inc - The Rise and Fall
Спорт
With NASCAR coming back and Kevin Harvick off on a hot streak, I believe it is appropriate to take a look back at the team that won the first NASCAR race that I ever attended and what their history looked like, on path to their closure in 2011.

What was your favorite memory from KHI's history in NASCAR? Was it the right decision to shut down in 2011?

One thing about KHI is that they did have a Rise but never really had a fall. A very rare thing to happen when it comes to teams that merges or shuts down.
Do the rise and fall of Brad Keselowski racing

I would guess he will start up a company to fill the voids that Stewart Hass Racing isn't racing in so Keelan can work his way up to Nascar. I'm sure they will have other drivers racing for them also, but I can promise you Kevin is going to spoon feed Keelan like Ty and Austin Dillion did because he hated how RCR didn't care when they trashed his equipment going after other drivers when ty or Austin got mad about anything on the track.
I saw your community post, and was hoping for something good. Wasn’t disappointed.
*Fun Fact:* KHI as a race team didn't shut down/merge with RCR so Harvick could focus on his racing career. The main reason was because Kevin & Delana were starting a family. At the time of the announcement that KHI was shutting down, the most likely reason was that Kevin & Delana were getting a divorce... Boy were those people proven stupid!

The fall's answer is simple the 2011 winstar 350k at Texas Motor Speedway. That ended everything.

Thumbs up for a nice job - as always. Back in the day, I was shocked when Happy closed up his teams as they seemed to run really well. But admire his dedication to winning a cup. Looking forward to the next one - I'd like to see Robby Gordon Motorsports - even though his cup teams never got that win. Still an interesting story.

As a Harvick fan, I miss KHI so much...
KHI was probably one of the coolest things for my hometown of Kernersville, NC. They would always allow tours and throw at least 1 or 2 “fan days” where they would open up the shop and roll out the cars and have tons of food and music.

That's awesome
I grew and live about 30 minutes from the shop and met Kevin a few times which was cool but what I wanted to say was that those paint schemes have been my favorite paint schemes ever to this day
Great vid. Brad Keselowski racing would be a good one!

Suggestion- Evernham Racing, a team with so much potential that fell flat and merged with RPM
One of the reasons Keven Harvick sold his teams may have been to concentrate on a Cup Championship but that was because he was still driving for RCR and Richard Childress talked Keven into selling him both the Truck and Xfinity Teams to get a head start on putting together teams for his grandsons to start their careers in NASCAR
Awesome video. Please do Junior Johnson and Associates, Bud Moore Engineering. Petty Enterprises would be pretty cool as well.
Saw u on the race last night. Good shit!

Rise and fall of evernham motorsports: Money earned as jeff gordons crew chief allowed him to buy rides. Hired average drivers, dodge was starting to withdraw from nascar, he had a clandestine relationship with Erin Crocker, end of Ray Evernham motorsports....
This video on KHI really brings back memories, Harvick was my favorite driver in the late 2010s and my first race in person was the 2009 Toyota 200 in which Ron hornaday got his 5th consecutive win, my second race was also won by Harvick the next year at the same track so that was also great. I do miss the KHI days but I understand the pressure he was under and I hope when he retires from driving that he will form a team again but unfortunately I don’t see that happening.
Rise and Fall Turner/HScott Motorsports
Loved this team Danny B. My first race was Texas 2010 when Gordon & Burton had that fist fight
@6:33 best paint scheme 👌 amazing color
One of the coolest paint schemes, was always the Old Spice car back when Tony Stewart would frequently run Busch Series races....
Got a A+ on a biography paper I wrote on Harvick in class Critical Thinking and Writing class I took in college during the '13 season right after the SHR deal was announced and predicted he would be a Cup champion within his first two seasons there bc of the HMS alliance at the time.

Hey Danny B, great content! Suggestion: Jackson Bros. Motorsports / Andy Petree Racing - The Rise & Fall
I would like to see a rise and fall of Bace Motorsports. The team was iconic in the Busch Series in the mid-90s winning Busch Titles three years in a row from 95-97 with Johnny Benson and Randy Lajoie. The last memory I have of them is as a part time team in 2004 with Tony Raines in the Busch Series after having tried to make the jump to Cup in 2003. Would like to see what happened to this operation
I worked at REV Racing and moved to NTS up in harvick's old shop and they had all the KHI stuff still hung up and a lot of employees. They were always saying "see those banners up there? This is how we used to do things" any time i was building something different than they used to. I moved back to REV racing and proceeded to win the 2 opening races with Daniel Saurez after only having 2 weeks to get the cars ready. In tech after the races when those guys walked by i would say "this is how we do things" It must have been extra stress ok Harvick having employees like that. Always wanted to tell me how wrong i was.
Wait, NASCAR returned two weeks ago?! Time goes so fast.. Edit: 2:25 That paint scheme looks odd, especially how the Menards logo on the hood isn't bigger
KH has a very bright business future ahead of him once he retires.
KHI always had some great paint schemes tho. Longhorn & Tide were my favorites
I really really REEEEAAAALLLLLYYYYYYY miss this team

I've been a fan of harvicks ever since he came into the Busch and yes there was a rise but no there was not a fall Kevin stepped away to focus on his family it's when his son was born unlike the rumor that they were getting divorced wrong and I appreciate him for stepping aside to take care of his family and focus on his cup career and when he took over and Brooke came in on the 29th that was not his dream he's always beat his own for his own path until Dale passed because he was already scheduled to start in Atlanta in the 30 AOL car he had seven races he was going to run plus the busch series but instead he took over 29 and done what was best for the company even though I didn't want a championship there he did a hell of a job for RCR anyway that's my two cents worth y'all have a good day
I just hope he starts a new team after he is done racing. I don’t believe shutting it down was a bad call because the reasoning he stated became true.
Theory: Kevin Harvick will buy JTG Daugherty Racing and bring back Kevin Harvick Inc. Driver: Keelan Harvick (His son)

I don't think KHI ever did fall, Harvick was just too burnt out on ownership and wanted to focus on his driving career. I wish he still had his truck team, though.
Do Turner Scott Motorsports and what would then become H Scott Motorsports and what it is now as Rick Ware Racing

KHI didn't really have a fall, it was just merged with RCR at the end of the 2011 season.

It wasn't a fall....Delana got pregnant with Keelan and choose focussing on building their family over the time and effort it took to run a race team.

The team just fell overnight. Don't exactly know the reason. How can you have a top team in the lower series and then just shut down overnight.
