Here's a real-life truth that no one understands until they find their lives standing squarely in the middle of that very truth. Being the wisest person in the room isn't about being the smartest person in that space. It's about being the person who has been in that room the longest. The one with the most experience. The owner of the largest scrapbook of memories and moments, and the lessons learned from both. Smart enough to appreciate it all.
"I think that's a natural life progression, right?" said Kevin Harvick, who at 47 and now in his 23rd and final season in the NASCAR Cup Series finds that he is now, more often than not, that person in most every room of racers he's standing in.
