6. Bristol 2002 – Kevin Harvick vs. Greg Biffle
The Setup:
Oh, for the days of Happy Harvick. Back in the early 00s’, Greg Biffle and Kevin Harvick flat did not like each other for some odd reason. During those Busch Series (now Xfinity) events, if they so muched as rubbed they were bound to have a few words with each other. One such instance was the Spring 2002 Bristol race, where Harvick was moonlighting while Biffle was running for a championship. Late in the going, Biffle hooked a loose Harvick, who over-corrected and went snout-first into the wall. Of course, Harvick promised retribution and then followed through.
The Fallout:
Right when Biffle exited his car for his post-race interview, Harvick defied gravity somehow by flying over the No. 60 Ford and into Biffle’s face. Holding Biffle by the scruff of his firesuit, Harvick said a few choice words to Biffle while crews and officials tried to pull them apart to the screams of the frenzied Bristol fans. The altercation did nothing to help Harvick’s dismal 2002 – he was suspended for the Martinsville race a few weeks later for another incident regarding his temper.
