Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway, Racetrack in California

Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway is a 120-acre racing complex near Bakersfield with a 0.5 mi paved oval banked 8° on the straights and 12–14° in the corners, plus two infield layouts of 0.25 mi and 0.125 mi. A 1/3 mi clay oval, the Bakersfield Speedway, and a motocross track opened in October 2014 complete the site. The main building carries a red "Kern Raceway" sign above its windows and a covered entrance on green posts.

Racing promoter Larry Collins announced the project in February 2006 to replace the closed Mesa Marin Raceway, on an 80-acre former almond farm near Interstate 5 and State Route 43. Groundbreaking came on February 7, 2007, but construction halted in 2008 amid liens and lawsuits, and the facility was foreclosed in June 2010. A group led by James Vernon and Charlie Beard bought and completed it in February 2012, with first races in 2013; Tim and Lisa Huddleston bought it in 2023, when it took the Kevin Harvick name.

The complex sits near the junction of Interstate 5 and California State Route 43, northwest of Bakersfield. The paved oval holds 6,000 permanent seats, expandable to 17,000 with temporary seating; the clay Bakersfield Speedway holds 2,704. The whole site covers 120 acres, so expect to walk between the ovals and the motocross track.
