Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton, and short-track legend Larry Phillips have officially been elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2027.
The announcement was made Tuesday at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, with Harvick earning induction in his first year of eligibility after a legendary Cup Series career that included 60 wins and the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series championship.
Harvick received an overwhelming 92% of the Modern Era ballot vote. The California native also captured some of NASCAR’s biggest races, including the Daytona 500, Brickyard 400, Coca-Cola 600, and Southern 500 before retiring from full-time competition following the 2023 season.
Burton earned his long-awaited induction in his sixth year on the ballot. The Virginia native scored 21 Cup Series victories during his career and has remained a major figure in the sport through his broadcasting work with NBC Sports and leadership within NASCAR’s driver advisory efforts.
Phillips, one of the most dominant short-track racers in NASCAR history, was selected from the Pioneer Ballot. The Missouri driver won five NASCAR Weekly Series national championships and reportedly collected well over 1,000 victories during his legendary grassroots racing career.
NASCAR also announced Lesa France Kennedy as the recipient of the Landmark Award for Outstanding Contributions to NASCAR. France Kennedy has played a major role in shaping NASCAR’s growth over the last three decades, helping lead projects including Daytona Rising and the development of Kansas Speedway.
The NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of 2027 will officially be inducted on Jan. 22, 2027, in Charlotte.
