P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Kevin Harvick bowed out of racing in NASCAR with a yet another top 10 finish at Phoenix over the weekend, with a mutual sponsor between he and Max Verstappen ensuring a smooth send-off.
Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen presented retiring NASCAR great Kevin Harvick with a signed, race-worn helmet. Harvick ended his illustrious career in the Cup Series with a record 21st consecutive top 10 finish in Phoenix, Arizona. Starting in 2001 as Dale Earnhardt Sr’s replacement, Harvick went on to win 60 races, including his first in just his third start in a legendary battle with Jeff Gordon. Out of the 827 Cup races since his debut, Harvick competed in 826 of them and missed only one in 2002. Verstappen and Harvick’s teams share a mutual sponsor, Mobil 1, with Verstappen’s signed helmet going to Harvick’s son Keelan. Unfortunately, Harvick couldn’t secure a second Cup crown in his farewell race, with Ryan Blaney taking the title for Team Penske.
