History
Cars 3
In Cars 3, Harvey entered the Piston Cup Racing Series mid-season joining the Easy Idle team as a replacement for the previous racer, Carl Clutchen. He debuted in the Motor Speedway of the South and was one of the first six Next-Gen racers to join the competition. During Los Angeles 500 at the Los Angeles International Speedway, he and Tim Treadless were close behind Lightning McQueen when he crashed and went airborne. Both watched in horror as McQueen went flying. In 2017, Harvey competed in the Florida 500 at the Florida International Super Speedway where he started from 15th position. After Cam Spinner caused a crash, Harvey smashed into Cam and was sent careening toward the infield and received minor damages, though was able to continue racing.
