Dale Earnhardt Jr and Kevin Harvick have always shared nice moments, and that was no different this week as Harvick had a surprise for the NASCAR Hall of Famer.
Harvick said farewell to full-time NASCAR racing following the 2023 season and has been sending plenty of gifts to others in NASCAR who have played a huge role in his career.
Harvick has also appeared on the Dale Jr. Download on several occasions, often talking about Dale Earnhardt Sr. and what he meant to him.
Dale Jr. recently shared that Harvick has been showing his appreciation to those in NASCAR who impacted his life and career, and included a post on X about a surprise gift he received in the mail from Harvick.
It turns out Harvick sent Dale Jr. the steering wheel he used at Talladega earlier this season — a nice piece of memorabilia from Harvick's last season.
Got home and opened a box in the mail from @KevinHarvick. It?s his race used wheel from @TALLADEGA this year. How damn cool is this? I guess several folks got a wheel from Kevin this year. I was thankful to be one of them. pic.twitter.com/keKe51ZVPE

"Got home and opened a box in the mail from @KevinHarvick," Earnhardt said. "It's his race-used wheel from @Talladega this year. How damn cool is this? I guess several folks got a wheel from Kevin this year. I was thankful to be one of them."
That is certainly a nice gesture from the 2014 Cup champion, who had an outstanding career, finishing with 60 Cup wins, and will be a deserved Hall of Fame inductee when the time comes.
The next question will be where Dale Jr. will put the wheel. It's likely bound for the set at Dirty Mo Media where he records the "Dale Jr. Download."
Harvick and Dale Jr. have plenty of time to continue working together with both being co-owners of the Cars Late Model Tour. Perhaps Dale will even have some advice for Harvick when he starts in the Fox booth covering NASCAR next season.
