Though NASCAR star Kevin Harvick doesn’t know exactly what Tom Brady has experienced since announcing his retirement last week, Harvick surely can relate to what the former Bucs quarterback has been thinking and feeling.
Harvick, like Brady, is a champion and an obvious future Hall of Famer. Though his performance has started to slip, he’s a postseason fixture who’s still good enough to win. He’s also a father with outside business opportunities and interests (including a future as a Fox broadcaster).
Unlike Brady, Harvick has had three-plus weeks to process the emotions since declaring this season will be his last.
