Cordele Motor Speedway announced Thursday morning that Keelan Harvick has filed his entry for SpeedFest 2026, marking his first appearance in the ASA Southern Super Series.
The 13-year-old son of NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick has already made an incredible impression in the short-track racing world. In December, Keelan Harvick made history as the youngest winner of the Allen Turner Snowflake 125 at Five Flags Speedway.
Harvick won four zMAX CARS Tour Pro Late Model events and two CARS Tour West Pro Late Model Series races in 2025. This came one year after winning the 2024 INEX Young Lions National Championship, marking a quick and successful transition from Legends to full-bodied Late Models.
Harvick is once again partnering with Rackley W.A.R. for the 2026 season, piloting the team's No. 62 entry. He will join Dawson Sutton in Rackley W.A.R.'s effort for the ASA Southern Super Series portion of SpeedFest.
Sutton was one of the hottest drivers in Super Late Model competition to conclude the 2025 season. The Lebanon, Tennessee native won the Glass City 200 at Toledo Speedway and the All American 400 on home turf at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway.
Sutton finished third in the Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour points standings, and ended the year with a runner-up finish in the 58th Annual Snowball Derby won by Stephen Nasse.
More entries for SpeedFest 2026 will be announced in the coming days. The event routinely draws a stout field of competitors to Cordele Motor Speedway to kick off the ASA Southern Super Series season.
Qualifying for SpeedFest takes place on Friday, January 23, with feature racing on Saturday, January 24. Click here to purchase your tickets now for SpeedFest 2026 at Cordele Motor Speedway.
