4. Darlington 2011 – Kevin Harvick vs. Kyle Busch
The Setup:
Kevin Harvick is a lot like the state of Texas: Don’t mess with him. Kyle Busch is also well aware of that lesson, even though in the instance it looks like he forgot it. Late in the going, these two were playing rough, bumping and banging to no end. Busch, frustrated with Harvick, did what he thought was a wise move: After Harvick’s teammate Clint Bowyer crashed due to their (Harvick and Busch) hard racing, Busch hooked left and turned the No. 29. That was a bad idea.
The Fallout:
After the race, Harvick literally chased Busch. Busch, who was more known for having altercations with guys like Steve Wallace and David Reutimann, knew that Harvick is a lot like Riggs from Lethal Weapon: Crazy. But despite that, Harvick cornered Busch and was about to have a talk with him, until Busch pushed the No. 29 out of the way and ran from Harvick’s fists. However, pushing an empty car out of the way like that on a crowded pit road netted Busch a fine instead.
