DeLana and Kevin Harvick first met during a race in the year 2000, when DeLana was a public relations specialist for driver Randy LaJoie. Just like her future husband, DeLana was hardly a newbie to the racing world.
As a matter of fact, DeLana was born into a racing family, according to NASCAR.com, and grew up "supporting her self-funded racing dad," helping him manage the business from the ground up. Though she didn't become a professional driver herself, she's definitely been around the track a time or two, and she decided to make the most of her intimate knowledge of the business of racing by launching a career in public relations for NASCAR.
"When I realized there was this whole other world, and as NASCAR continued to grow and evolve, I became very interested in the PR and marketing side of it," she told NASCAR.com.
DeLana has never actually spent a lot of time on the sidelines. After she and Kevin were married, she became co-owner and manager of the couple's successful race team, Kevin Harvick Incorporated, which owns "cars and trucks in the NASCAR XFINITY and Camping World Truck Series, along with the ARCA Racing Series," per NASCAR.
And unlike many other wives of drivers, DeLana is often spotted at races on the pit box, in her own custom firesuit.
