Kevin Harvick Proposes Major NASCAR Format Changes

    Feb 5th, 2025

    Summary

    Kevin Harvick has called for significant changes in NASCAR, proposing the elimination of both the Clash and the All-Star Race. In their place, he suggests establishing a points-based short-track series, inspired by the positive reception of the Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium. Harvick believes that a renewed focus on grassroots short-track racing could help revitalize older venues like Hickory Motor Speedway, enabling much-needed infrastructure improvements.

    His vision includes a rotating series of exhibition events at historically significant tracks, enhancing both competition and the connection to NASCAR’s roots. Harvick's plan envisions this short-track series as a mini-championship with substantial monetary incentives, possibly featuring a million-dollar grand prize for winners. By fostering a grassroots connection to the sport, this initiative aims to boost fan engagement while revitalizing classic racing venues across the country.
