Harvick Steers Success Back To Alma Mater
 Fourteen
years after graduating from North High and embarking on a highly successful
racing career, Kevin Harvick is returning to his roots.
Harvick, who wrestled all four years while attending North, will be returning
to Bakersfield on June 18 for "A Night Out with Kevin Harvick" at Stramler
Park -- a fundraiser for a fieldhouse at North High.
The planned $1 million fieldhouse will be used primarily by the wrestling
team and when Harvick heard that, he was "all in," said North High Principal
Bryon Schaefer.
"We're fortunate when somebody who has achieved the success on the scale that
Kevin has chooses to be supportive of North High and, in particular, our
wrestling program," Schaefer said.
In addition to Harvick and his No. 29 Shell-Pennzoil Chevrolet race car, the
event, catered by Famous Dave's, will include entertainment provided by three
bands. There will be a raffle as well as live and silent auctions. Among the
items up for bid will be a guitar autographed by Harvick and Merle Haggard.
Cost is $55 for adults and $15 for children ages 3-10. Tickets may be
purchased at North High (cash only) or any Vallitix location.
