Seven Degrees of Kevin Harvick; Get Your Brawl on, NASCAR Style!

(Page 2 of 2)

During 2008's Bud Shootout Practice, the cars of Stewart and Busch came together once again, this time sending the No. 2 into the wall driving into turn 3. During the caution on their way to Pit Road, Busch door-slammed Stewart's car several times before both cars came to a complete stop on pit road before heading into the garage area.

According to multiple sources, Tony Stewart punched Kurt Busch that day in front of NASCAR officials in the NASCAR hauler.

 

Nextel All-Star 2007. Brotherly chaos ensued when these two came together on the second lap of the final segment. Kurt blamed Kyle, while Kyle threatened to "kick his brother's butt" on the radio immediately after the incident took place.

Kyle snuck off the track that night, avoiding his brother and the media leaving Kurt with the final word.  

"I'm sure we'll talk to each other," he said. "It's just tough to have this scenario happen out on the track, but inevitably it was going to happen. We'll see what he has to say about it, and we'll see what we can do to discuss it, but right now I'm not eating any Kellogg's anytime soon."

 

7. Kyle Busch vs. Kevin Harvick

Michigan Truck Race, June 2008. Busch and Harvick had a post-race encounter in which owner Kevin Harvick took exception to Kyle Busch wrecking driver Ron Hornaday.

The wreck set both driver and owner off, they chased Busch through the garage area and had a heated discussion.

"I just got into him. Sorry about that," Busch said. "But remarks from Harvick and Hornaday are what they're going to be, they're big mouths anyway and so we'll take it and get on with it and hopefully beat them out for this championship."

At Sonoma the following weekend, Busch couldn't help but note with glee that Harvick caused the late wreck that took out Tony Stewart and Jamie McMurray. 

"Besides the rest of the guys that were behind me, I guess Harvick got into McMurray who got into Stewart; that's just a bummer deal. Everybody makes mistakes sometimes, but when Harvick comes up to me and runs his mouth last weekend like at Michigan, he sort of stuck it right back in his mouth here this weekend, so that was good to see (chuckling)."

Ah yes, fighting is and always will be a part of NASCAR.

Now, I challenge you to a game of Seven Degrees of Kevin Harvick, are you up for it?  

Fair warning, I'm a sore loser, so if you do beat me at my own game, I'm liable to pick a fight!
