Kyle Busch Blasts Kevin Harvick

Posted by Jeremy Dunn Jun 24, 2008

Several years ago, Kevin Harvick took every opportunity to publicly blast Kurt Busch. Now that the rivalry has cooled off, Kurt's little brother Kyle has drawn the ire of Harvick. Last week, Kyle Busch made contact with Ron Hornaday, who drives for Kevin Harvick, Inc. The contact caused Hornaday to spin and his chances of victory vanished. Both Harvick and Hornaday approached Busch following the race, and the trio engaged in a heated discussion.

Hornaday practically promised retribution, and Harvick went off in a tangent about how young 'punks' disrespect the sport.

On Sunday, Harvick overdrove the hairpin turn while trying to pass David Gilliland; however, he ran into third place driver Jamie McMurray, which set off the domino effect as Tony Stewart was collected as well. Race-winner Kyle Busch enjoyed talking about Harvick's blunder.

"Everybody makes mistakes sometimes, but when Harvick comes up to me and runs his mouth like he did at Michigan [after an incident in a Craftsman Series truck race last weekend] and says all the stuff he did, he kind of stuck it right back in his mouth here this weekend. That was good to see," Busch said with pleasure.

As of now, Harvick has yet to respond, but it is just a matter of time before he let's the world know how he feels about Kyle Busch.
