Keelan Harvick, the son of 2014 Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick, signed with Toyota Racing Development on Monday. The deal aims to prepare the third-generation driver for a future in the Cup Series, with plans to compete in dozens of late model races this year driving the No. 62 Toyota Camry.
Keelan, who previously considered a career in Europe, shifted his focus to American motorsports after a karting event incident involving Charles Leclerc. Kevin Harvick supports the move, citing Toyota's development philosophy as a key factor in the decision.
