NASCAR Nextel Cup Driver Kevin Harvick
Joins Cast of "The Kellys"

"I'm thrilled to be the first Nextel Cup driver featured on The Kellys," Harvick said. "I am a big fan of the show. I always wanted to be a cartoon when I grew up."

The Kellys is an animated series, optimized for broadband viewing, about a dedicated racing family who are the most popular underdogs on the racing circuit. Harvick, appearing as himself, was chosen by NASCAR fans as one of the five most popular drivers in 2004 and a winner of the prestigious Brickyard 400, among his career accomplishments.

"Kevin is a great addition to an already star-studded cast," said Peter Kjenaas, producer and director of The Kellys. "The success of The Kellys demonstrates that fans enjoy the originality of having an animated series on a sports league site."

"Like most people my age, I grew up on animated shows like The Simpsons and Liquid Television on MTV," Harvick continued. "The show running on NASCAR.com is a whole new venue for a weekly series like this, and I'm just happy to be a part of it."

The Kellys features other highly regarded voice-actors such as Nancy Cartwright (The Simpsons; Rugrats; Kim Possible), Rob Paulsen (Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain; Land Before Time), Jess Harnell (Alf; Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Kath Souci (Rugrats; Winnie the Pooh) and Corey Burton (101 Dalmations; Toy Story 2).
