Kevin Harvick

Is there anyone who looks more like a getaway driver than Kevin Harvick? With those sunglasses, that black fire suit and the way he always walks around with a sense of purpose, Harvick looks the part. Plus, when you take the shades off, he’s got a look that could kill if he’s so inclined.

Harvick is the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion, a two-time Busch Series champion and a Daytona 500 winner. And if your heist takes place in or around the Phoenix area, he’s particularly qualified since his eight wins at Phoenix International Raceway are the most ever. Overall, the Bakersfield native is one of the most experienced drivers on our short list, with almost 600 races under his belt in the Cup Series alone.

And before Harvick was a professional racer, he was a multi-sport athlete who competed on his championship-winning high school wrestling team and also played baseball, basketball, football and soccer. He even trained in MMA back in 2013. So if somebody tried to stop you from reaching your getaway car, Kevin Harvick could just wrestle them out of your way.

Once behind the wheel, though, he’d be just as aggressive and crush the competition. Harvick earned his “Happy” nickname not because he’s always in a good mood but because it’s ironic. He’s not someone you want to make angry. If he’s your getaway man, he’d intimidate anyone chasing you before he left them in the dust. He could even provide color commentary. What more could you ask for?
