Firesuits Away! How NASCAR dealt with racing's latest tussle

It's only June, folks, but we at the View From North America think we might just have heard the quote of the year from Joey Logano after his late-race fracas with NASCAR Sprint Cup series leader Kevin Harvick, which saw JoeLo's No. 20 car turned around.

JoeLo tried to confront "Our Kev," but Harvick's pit crew was having none of it, losing Harvick at least two or three man card points, which are all-important in the Sprint Cup series (although no one will tell you).

Anyway, Logano's quote was brilliant: "It's not his fault. His wife wears the firesuit in the family and tells him what to do." His wife is, of course, one of NASCAR's hottest wives, Delana Harvick, who dons a (matching) firesuit alongside husband Kevin for EVERY NASCAR race. 

We can just see the war of words continue in the NASCAR hauler, where the two are being verbally reprimanded as we speak...swear words (banned by NASCAR or it'll cost you points) in [brackets], you [very nice people].

HARVICK: I just heard what you said about my wife wearing the firesuit you little [scallywag]. You WISH you had a wife like mine...

LOGANO: Dude, it's undeniable. I'd kill for a wife as hot as that...when I'm 30, which is in about 10 years! I'm playing the field baby, and you're at home! Na, na, na, na na....

HARVICK: I'm going to wish you'd never been born...

LOGANO: Wait a minute...you're going to attack me? The last time I wanted to get into with you, you had the whole of your team to back you up. I couldn't get in your face because some pit crew member was stopping me. What happened? Did you suddenly realize that Delana wanted you home straight after the race?

HARVICK: And you're going home to your mom...

LOGANO: Kevin, your mom's [cue mother joke involving cars, fat, booze, antlers, and Delana Harvick]. And what's more, you Californians [cue comments that everyone makes about people from California].

HARVICK punches Logano, and gets his man cards handed back to him by a NASCAR official.

NASCAR: Boys, this shall never happen again! We're fine with you putting each other into walls, but no wife/mum/cat/dog comments, OK? It makes our God-fearin' sport look bad. Next thing we know, Joey, you'll say: "Kevin, you drove like one of those 100,000 fans watching on...a complete drunk" and then everyone will get upset. Got it?

HARVICK: Yep.

LOGANO: Urghh...I heard your wife punches twice as hard as you do...that's why you're so scared of her....

Then, NASCAR intervenes, and starts throwing around some fines. Show over.
