The SoundGear 400, featuring the season openers for both the ARCA Menards Series West and the CARS Tour West at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway, will be streamed live on FloRacing Saturday.
2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick will be racing in the Super Late Model event. This will be Harvick’s first time competing at the track since it adopted his name in 2024. 2021 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Daniel Hemric will also be racing, competing in the ARCA Menards West series race.
Harvick, who is the managing partner at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway and owner of the CARS Tour West, will be piloting the No. 29 Super Late Model sponsored by HendrickCars.com.
Last year, CARS Tour West races were streamed on Low Budget TV, so this marks the first time that the SPEARS CARS Tour West series will be broadcasted on a major streaming platform
“We’re thrilled to partner with FloRacing to showcase Saturday’s action-packed event at Kern Raceway to a worldwide audience,” said Kevin Harvick. “This event will provide fans with an opportunity to witness the best of West Coast racing in one day. I hope fans all over the country will tune in to see what West Coast racing is all about and why I’m so passionate about it.”
Four different divisions will be in action during a full afternoon of racing. The ARCA Menards Series West, CARS Tour West Super Late Models, CARS Tour West Limited Pro Late Models and the Legends Tour West will all be competing throughout the day at the high-banked half-mile oval in Bakersfield, California.
Hemric will be piloting an ARCA Menards Series car prepared by Bill McAnally Racing, the same team that Hemric will race for in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2025. Other notable ARCA competitors expected to be in competition include Tanner Reif, Trevor Huddleston and Spencer Davis.
The event will start on Saturday, January 25 at 1 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. ET live on FloRacing.
