Harvick made his picks on his Happy Hour show, and SPEED posted the clip on X on Monday.
"My three guys would be Larson, Reddick, and SVG," Harvick said. "And I think that Larson and Reddick have, you know, a past dirt background, very versatile as far as, as being able to adapt to the car."
The World Rally Championship runs timed stages on gravel, asphalt, snow and ice, with a co-driver reading pace notes. Harvick said his three picks could figure it out.
"You put them in World Rally Championship or whatever it is, I think if that's what they're focused on, I think that they could, they could figure it out," Harvick said.
Larson is the reigning Cup Series champion and also won the title in 2021. He still races sprint cars and midgets on dirt, where he has won the Chili Bowl Nationals three times, in 2020, 2021 and 2025.
He also tried the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 double in both 2024 and 2025.
Larson drives the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports . He won at Gateway and Kansas in the Chase and leads the standings by five points with three races left.
Reddick also came up through dirt racing before moving to stock cars. He won the Xfinity Series title in 2018 and again in 2019, and he won Sunday's race at Phoenix for his sixth win of 2026.
Those six wins include the Daytona 500 on a superspeedway and the road course race at Circuit of the Americas.
Reddick drives the No. 45 Toyota for 23XI Racing , the team Denny Hamlin co-owns with Michael Jordan . Reddick is seventh in the Chase standings.
Van Gisbergen took a different path. The New Zealander won three Supercars championships in Australia before he won the 2023 Chicago Street Race in his first Cup Series start.
He has also raced rally cars. Van Gisbergen finished on the WRC2 podium in his World Rally Championship debut at Rally New Zealand in 2022.
Van Gisbergen drives the No. 97 Chevrolet for Trackhouse Racing . He has won two Cup races this season, both on road courses at Watkins Glen and Sonoma.
Harvick won the 2014 Cup Series championship and 60 Cup races before retiring from full-time racing after the 2023 season. He now works as an analyst for Fox Sports .
The Cup Series races next at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday.
