Harvick was born on December 8, 1975, in Bakersfield, California. His father, Mike Harvick, was a racing enthusiast who competed in local events. From a young age, Harvick was exposed to the world of racing, and he quickly developed a passion for the sport. He began racing go-karts at the age of five and soon moved on to other forms of racing.

In 1993, Harvick made his debut in the NASCAR Featherlite Southwest Series, where he quickly established himself as a top driver. Over the next few years, he won several races and earned the respect of his peers.

In 1997, Harvick made his debut in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving for Richard Childress Racing. He had an impressive rookie season, winning two races and finishing fourth in the points standings. The following year, Harvick won three races and finished second in the standings.
