Several fans reacted to Hart's attempt to race a former elite NFL player, "What is he doing racing an NFL player to begin with," wrote one user. "This sends a bad message…Kevin took the vaccine and eats poorly…44 isn’t old…it’s only old if you beat your body down with bad food and substances," a critic said.

A user observed, "OK ok as a 45-year-old - NEGATIVE - it doesn’t matter what age you are - don’t get out there doing something YOU ARE NOT TRAINED OR USED TO DOING. That’s it. How is he thinking he racing a former NFL player? "
