| Happy Birthday, Harv! |
Country music star Craig
Morgan headlined the charity event that benefitted the Kevin Harvick Foundation
and included special performances by Bridgette Tatum and Matt Stillwell.
"I'm glad to be
back in Bakersfield, (Calif.)," said Morgan. "The Kevin Harvick
Foundation has done a lot for the local community, so I'm glad to be part of
this event and hopefully help the foundation raise some funds to keep the
programs going that help so many kids."
Before arriving in
Bakersfield, Harvick, who turns 37 on Dec. 8, first was honored Friday evening
at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Awards Ceremony in Las Vegas for his eighth-place
finish in the 2012 season's final championship driver point standings.
Morgan and friends
surprised Harvick during the concert by pulling him on-stage for an impromptu
singing of "Happy Birthday.”
"It takes a lot to
embarrass me, but Craig Morgan and everyone succeeded, to some degree, by
having the entire theater sing to me," Harvick said. "However, the
money we raised for the Kevin Harvick Foundation is nothing to be ashamed of. A
little lighthearted fun at my expense certainly is worth the chance to assist
underprivileged children across the country. A heartfelt thanks from DeLana and
me to Budweiser, Craig Morgan, Bridgette Tatum, Matt Stillwell and all our
sponsors for their support this weekend."
Morgan's newest album, THIS
OLE BOY, commemorating the 10 years since his debut album, has met with
great success and was a big hit with the concertgoers.
