I genuinely thought we saw him die in 2020, that wreck made me sick that evening, Gordons face while Mike spoke, it all was so grim, AND THEN THE MOTHER FUCKER JUST UP AND WALKS OUTTA THE HOSPITAL LIKE A BADASS HOLDING HIS DAUGTHERS' HANDS... Absolute legend.

As a Honda enthusiast, I'd love to see them in NASCAR

0:30 I was at that race lol

If I was trying to get a championship for 17 year and couldn’t do it I might as well little polarizing too lol

17:56 same bro, I’d never seen 7 styled like that until I watched nascar

THE GOAT!!!! Behind Dale…

2:11 No he doesn't; Standards aren't something you throw away at the first perceived slight. "Rules for thee but not for me" Just another egotistical clown that thinks he *DESERVES* respect; Respect is earned, and I can see why Edwards had none. Kenseth was, and still is. a has-been.

When nice people snap, its worse than when your average person snaps. Nice people have a larger bottle for storing anger, which means they dont release it as much. But once this bottle does fill up, theres so much more being let out than usual. TLDR; nice people snap worse but less often

9:07 is that Ryan Newman in a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix body with slightly modifyed grill and headlights to look Dodge for Penski!? Also great video. You left out some information about some of these races but it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme because it was such a good video anyways and with some choice choices on the races included, and great job otherwise with the history/context to these.

this better than that new ksi

That 2011 race at Fontana is the race that made me a Harvick fan. I had never really had a favorite driver. Had guys I liked or disliked, but nobody I'd buy merchandise for. Then Harvick pulled off one of the most amazing, clutch final-corner passes I've ever seen in my life (still to this day 13 years later) on the defending series champion. And I was sold. To this day, Kevin is the only "favorite driver" I've ever had.

Harvick actually did a lot of the testing for Earnhardt

I was at the 2005 Golden Corral 500.. Everyone including myself were going insane over that finish. If that race was the best in 2005, then the 2005 Coke 600 has to be a close second. IMO

He is the only driver i have ever cheered for

2011 Coke 600 broke my soul!

The most clutch driver in NASCAR history is Jimmie Johnson. I have calculated this. Johnson has an 80-35 on track record on the final lead change of a race. Harvick's is 61-43... still great but definitively worse. Not to mention he won titles most times he was in contention for them while Harvick didn't... Harvick is admittedly the driver the media HYPED as the most clutch driver, but it's not correct. Just like they hyped Ryan Newman as the "hardest driver to pass" when he has the worst career lead change record of any major NASCAR Cup star 1985-present (131-202). Admittedly, few people before me did this sort of research...

When Earnhardt died, most became Jr fans. But I went with Harvick. There were some rough years, but in the long run he became one of the best.

This was my favorite moment all year by far. The radio chatter after the checkered makes me so happy; just the purest sound of a dream come true.

Can't say don't blame him

Carl was the best driver at the track! He truly was a nice guy! I miss him so much!!! 😢❤😊

Y’all need to go check out Kevin harvick in car camera from the Daytona 500. It shows the final ten laps!

As a HUGE Harvick fan I always wondered why he came up short in the championship 4 races. He did win in 14 but he was in position to win a handful of other times. Glad he did get at least one 'ship tho.

I miss this Guy soo much

Even though 2022 wasn't the ass whooping from the year prior for him, its impressive to at least be able to brag about winning in the next gen car on it's debut year with the shitshow it was. After that it was just back to 2021 for Larson. It's scary to see how fast he can adapt to something like that.

This is why it's not how you start out it's how you finish that counts. Great video

the most clutch driver is actually the other guy in the thumbnail 😂 but kh is too

song at 6:53?

The Closer and Mr. Where did he come From

Hope he had a great time with his team before retiring 😢😢

As a lifelong kevin harvick fan thus hits home for me I watched all of these races live ahh the nostalgia

He was especially clutch in the 2020 playoffs

The fact that Harvick one his first race in his third ever start by out-dueling the best in the sport at the time, Jeff Gordon, (who was still at or darn near his best) should’ve told us he would be good. To not make a “rookie mistake” while FINDING a way to beat Gordon clean when Jeff didn’t really make any mistakes (he got loose on the last corner, but he’s still able to drag race Harvick back to the line without hitting him) told us everything we really needed to know about Harvick’s “clutch” gene. Looking forward to the inevitable HoF induction when he’s eligible and we can safely say we WILL know where that induction came from

Don't get political please. I think the only reason NASCAR made a EV car is because of the green new deal. It stated that all cars manufactured would have to be EV's/hybrids by 2030. I think nascar only made this hybrid car because of that.

Dillon is the embodiment of chaotic neutral. 99% of the time he's just not there, not important, etc but that 1% is where he makes whatever he does worth the price of admission alone

The only time I didn’t want him to win was the talladega race where he beat my favorite driver Mcmurray

Being clutch is such an underrated stat in NASCAR. 9/10 people only think about being clutch in a championship since rarely in standalone races, in every overtime, or 1 on 1 duel late in a race it comes down to how much ice you truly have in your veins, AND NONE HAS EVER CAME CLOSER 2 THE CLOSER

While I do believe Harvick is one of the all-time best, the stats don't exactly support the narrative of him being the most clutch. Since the invention of loop data in 2005, Harvick has had 71 races where he had the highest driver rating. He won 56 times during that period. The noteworthy "where did he come from" wins don't equal the sheer number of races he should have won but didn't. That award should probably go to someone like Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards or Brad Keselowski, who have considerably more wins than they should have.

I still feel like if anyone was gonna have a championship in his final season, nobody would of blinked if it was Harvick

Kevin harvick at one to go once he sees the drivers that lead the whole race: its time to commit steal

Elliot won with 0 laps led

Thumbed down and left the video the moment you said “Kevin Harvick” Holy shit are you clueless on what talent is

Newman kinda reminds me of Cale in his prime -

In 2001, the original plan for him was to run part-time in the 30 car before going full-time in 2002

I can only imagine how many more wins and championships he could’ve gotten if not for being with RCR all those years. Nevertheless, I grew up a Harvick fan with my dad and glad to say I got to watch him win his one and only championship! No other like him 💯

Mr. Yellow

This why harvick was my favorite driver

Kevin Harvick had more starts than Jeff Gordon (826 > 805). As well as More Top 5s (251 > 232) More Top 10s (444 > 374) And a better career Average Finish than Jimmie Johnson (12.8 > 13.4).

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

WEC has hybrid cars and they sound waaay better than NASCAR.
