“It was Kind of a Chicken Sh** Move” – Kevin Harvick Fumes at Chase Elliott

During the NASCAR Cup Series race at Bristol, Chase Elliott drew the ire of Kevin Harvick. Apparently, the two drivers bumped into each other several times during the course of the race. Later on, this led to a huge confrontation between them in the pit lane. Without a doubt, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver was furious with the Hendrick Motorsports driver.

Harvick said, “I just told him it was a chicken sh** move that he did there in the end. I mean we’re racing for the fricking win in Bristol. We’re three-wide in the middle, and he throws a temper tantrum. I was trying to get the lead and race him hard. Then he pulls up in front of me and just sits there until I lose the whole lead.

“To be able to lose a race like that, I watched him let the #24 go by and anytime you run into him, it’s a problem.”

Where did Chase Elliott and Kevin Harvick finish?

In the end, Harvick did manage to finish second and stayed alive in the competition. However, he would have preferred to win the race and truly secure his berth. All season long, he has failed to reach Victory Lane, and this was his best chance. Naturally, he would have blown up at Elliott for ruining his chances of winning.

Speaking of Chase Elliott, he ended up getting the short end of the stick and wound up all the way down in 25th place. However, that did nothing to save him from Harvick’s wrath. On the bright side, the two of them have still managed to make it through to the next round of the Playoffs.

However, it came at the expense of Aric Almirola, Tyler Reddick, Kurt Busch, and Michael McDowell. It is also worth mentioning that Kyle Larson won the race ahead of Harvick and William Byron. Now, all that they can do is move on from the incident and look ahead to the coming races.
