It was announced in September 2011 that KHI would merge withRichard Childress Racing beginning in 2012, with KHI no longer fielding a vehicle in any of the top three NASCAR divisions. In 2024, the team returned tolate model racing in theCARS Tour, fielding the No. 29 late model full-time forBrent Crews and the No. 62 late model full-time for several drivers. KHI also operates as a management agency for athletes, particularly in motorsports.

Elliott Sadler (2011)

This team ran full-time in 2011 with formerSprint Cup driverElliott Sadler driving andErnie Cope as the crew chief. The team struggled the early portion of the season, but soon found momentum and battled withRoush Fenway Racing driverRicky Stenhouse Jr. for the Nationwide Series points lead. Despite the No. 2 team going winless in 2011, Sadler finished 2nd in points. The team returned in 2012 under the RCR banner.

Part-time (2004)

KHI's No. 33 team was formed whenAndy Petree Racing's No. 33 Busch team was shut down halfway through the2004 season. Kevin Harvick purchased the team and it made its debut in the 19th race of the season atChicagoland Speedway withClint Bowyer behind the wheel.

Stewart and Raines shared the 33 that season, with Stewart running races with Old Spice sponsorship, and Raines withYard Man/Outdoor Channel backing. Raines collected nine top-ten finishes and finished 20th in the points despite only running 23 races. Stewart's lone win in 10 races came at Daytona and had only three top-five finishes. KHI development driverBurney Lamar joined the 33 for a pair of races as well, his best finish a 34th atHomestead-Miami Speedway.

In 2002 Canadian driverRon Fellows befriended Harvick and asked for a ride. Harvick agreed to put Fellows in some Busch Series races in the No. 33 Chevy on several occasions during the years. Fellows performed well on the road courses and had some nice performances on some oval tracks. The last time he raced for Kevin Harvick, Inc. was in 2007 at Watkins Glen. Kevin Harvick asked Fellows to drive on occasion for KHI in 2007 for one more year and Fellows agreed. In 2007 at Montreal, Fellows almost won the first NBS race there, but placed 4th after a late crash.

The2006 again started strong as Stewart again drove the No. 33 to a win at Daytona with teammate Lamar finishing second in the No. 77, marking the first time that the Linville family had fielded a winner in the series, dating to its inaugural year. A variety of drivers competed in the No. 33 during the 2006 season, including Stewart, Harvick, Hornaday, and development driversSean Caisse andAaron Fike. The team finished tenth in the standings at the season. Harvick, Stewart, Raines, and development driverCale Gale shared the No. 33 Chevrolet in2007, with sponsorship coming fromOld Spice,Camping World, and RoadLoans.com. Harvick, Gale, and Hornaday split the 33 full-time in 2008, scoring fifteen finishes of eighth or better between them.

The driver lineup changed for 2010 with Harvick, Hornaday,Mike Bliss,Elliott Sadler and Road RingerMax Papis atRoad America andCircuit Gilles Villeneuve with Harvick taking 3 victories at Vegas, Nashville, and Richmond.

For 2011, the No. 33 carried dual sponsorship from bothRheem andMenards, withKevin Harvick,Clint Bowyer,Austin Dillon, and new RCR driverPaul Menard splitting the driving duties. FormerRed Bull driverScott Speed intended to drive at the May Iowa race, but his commitment toDragon Racing for the2011 Indianapolis 500 prevented him from competing. Speed would drive the car atMontreal andMax Papis drove atRoad America. Truck Series driverDavid Mayhew would make his series debut at the fall Iowa race. The 33 team would finish fourth in owners points, but would go winless.^[7] The 33 team was transferred over to RCR for 2012.

He opened the season with a runner-up finish at Daytona, and had two additional top-tens and led the Rookie of the Year standings until summer. During the race weekend at Kansas in 2006, Harvick announced he had removed Lamar from the No. 77, due to Dollar General wanting Cup drivers in the No. 77 and hired 2000 Winston Cup championBobby Labonte to drive the car for the rest of the season.

Multiple drivers (2007)

Labonte, Harvick, andKertus Davis were scheduled share the 77 for the 2007 season. Labonte brought the number 77 to its first victory atTalladega on April 28, 2007.

Part-time (2002)

The No. 6 truck was Kevin Harvick, Inc.'s first ever truck. It was built in 2001 when Harvick started his self-owned team for 2002 modeled after RCR and Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Initially the company was called Kevin Harvick Motorsports, but it was renamed to KHI in later 2002. In its first race it was driven by Rick Carelli and finished in 5th at Daytona. In its second race at Darlington it finished in 4th place. At Martinsville, Harvick intentionally spunCoy Gibbs causing NASCAR to park the team for the balance of the event. When Harvick lied to reporters, his sponsors and fans; about not intentionally crashing Gibbs, this led to a suspension from the cup race the next morning, a $25,000 fine and a 25 points loss for the truck series. Following this incident Harvick did not race the next event at Gateway to make amends. Later that year, Harvick won the team's first win at Phoenix in autumn and the next year the No. 6 team was folded into the No. 33 team (see below.)

Part-time (2001–2003)

Ron Hornaday (2005, 2006–2011)

Crafton was replaced by two-time championRon Hornaday Jr., who captured a win atAtlanta Motor Speedway and was named the series' Most Popular Driver.

As the No. 33

At the end of 2005, KHI switched numbers withRoush Fenway Racing to become the No. 33, with the No. 6 going to Roush Fenway. Hornaday Jr. began the year unsponsored but won atMansfield Motorsports Speedway and finished seventh in points after obtaining sponsorship fromAllstate Employer Services. He began 2007 with new sponsorship fromCamping World, picked up four victories, and won the 2007Craftsman Truck Series championship. In 2008, Hornaday won six times but finished second in the championship standings. In 2009 he'd win his fourth championship, a week before the last race of the season.

In 2010, the 33 team found itself in a slump. Due to theFood and Drug Administration passing a new rule that bans the advertisement of tobacco products, Longhorn dropped its sponsorship mid season, forcing the 33 to run with one race deals untilE-Z-GO signed on with a few races remaining. The 33 team brushed off the bad luck with a win atO'Reilly Raceway Park at Indianapolis where he would hold offKyle Busch. Hornaday Jr. won again atMartinsville and ended up 7th in points.

For 2011, Hornaday returned to the 33 team and won early in the year at Texas. However, the team struggled midway through the season and lost ground in the points. After Harvick had Hornaday switch over to the 2 truck,Cale Gale would take over the 33 for 2 races whileMike Wallace would drive atTalladega and win his first Truck race since 2000. Hornaday returned to the 33 for the last 3 races of the season and finished second at Martinsville, but was knocked out of the championship hunt at Texas byKyle Busch and finished 13th at Homestead, ending up 4th in points. The 33 was driven byCale Gale full-time in 2012 withEddie Sharp Racing fielding the truck.

In September 2011, it was announced that KHI would cease to exist following that season, with its teams and equipment being absorbed or bought by other organizations. Harvick's Cup team Richard Childress Racing restarted its Nationwide Series program by merging it with that of KHI, moving the No. 2 team ofElliott Sadler which would finish second in points and the flagship No. 33 which Harvick would continue to drive to the RCR banner.^[10] Kevin Harvick's truck program was primarily sold toEddie Sharp Racing, acquiring the No. 8 truck and No. 33 truck.^[11] WhileNelson Piquet Jr. moved toTurner Scott Motorsports, development driverCale Gale and longtime sponsorRheem went with the No. 33 to ESR,^[12] winning the 2012 season finale atHomestead-Miami Speedway.^[13] KHI's 2 truck was also sold to RCR and Harvick continued to drive it in 2012 for 3 races. Harvick's good friend and most successful driverRon Hornaday Jr. moved on to Joe Denette Motorsports (nowNTS Motorsports), which received equipment and support from KHI, for 2012 and 2013 driving their No. 9 truck.^[14] Harvick continued to drive NTS's 14 truck in a partial schedule in 2013, and NTS also moved into the former KHI shop prior to the season.^[15]

According to Harvick, the sale of the team overall was so he could focus winning a Cup championship. For the Xfinity Series program specifically, Harvick stated that the similarity between them and the Cup cars (same chassis and similar bodies) made the costs and resource requirements too great for a non-Cup-affiliated team to function.^[16] Kevin Harvick Incorporated currently operates as a sports marketing and management firm, which includes MMA fighters as well as former teammateJeff Burton.^[17] They now representHarrison Burton,Ricky Stenhouse Jr.,Ryan Preece,Shane van Gisbergen andTy Dillon along with others.

In October 2024, KHI announced a partnership withRackley W.A.R. for both the Truck Series and Super Late Model programs.^[18]

On January 9, 2023, a consortium consisting of KHI,DEJ Management,Jeff Burton Autosports, Inc., andTrackhouse Racing purchased theCARS Tour.^[19][20]

On February 6, 2024, it was announced that KHI would field a full-time entry in the CARS Tour in 2024. The team announcedBrent Crews as the driver of their No. 29 car, with sponsorship fromMobil 1.^[21] For 2025 Kevin Harvick would take over the #29 part-time reducing the car to a part-time entry.

On March 22, 2023, it was announced that Harvick would run select CARS Tour races, starting atNorth Wilkesboro Speedway, in the No. 62 car, resurrecting the KHI moniker in racing. On November 11,Josh Berry drove the No. 62 atHickory Motor Speedway. He also participated at Florence Motor Speedway on November 18 and atSouthern National Motorsports Park on November 26.Ryan Preece raced at theSnowball Derby on December 6.^[22] The No. 62 will return in 2024, running full-time withJosh Berry,William Sawalich,Layne Riggs, andLanden Lewis.
