Kern County Raceway Park in Bakersfield, California, has been renamed Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway.

Harvick, a Bakersfield native and 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion, will work with the track's new ownership, Tim and Lisa Huddleston, to support the facility and the overall health of motorsports at the grassroots level, track officials said.

The facility includes a 1/2-mile asphalt oval and 1/3-mile dirt oval.

“Bakersfield is my home, and I am committed to giving back and ensuring a bright future for motorsports in our community,” Harvick said. “Together with Tim and Lisa, we will do everything in our power to make racing in Bakersfield as strong as it has ever been.”
