One memorable incident involved Denny Hamlin during a pie-throwing contest. After the contest was over, Hamlin playfully threw a pie at Harvick, who, in return, gave him a taste of his own medicine. Hamlin jokingly referred to it as,

“That was assault by the way”

Denny Hamlin explained the whole story and started, “We were doing a pie contest like a throwing contest, and I think he took offense to one of the pies that I got him pretty good on, it was after the horn had sounded to stop. So the way he saw it, that this was, you know, kind of off-limits times and I kind of broke protocol there.”

Later, while Kevin was cleaning his suit, other drivers, including Hamlin, couldn’t help but laugh at him. Seizing the opportunity for revenge, Harvick hatched a plan with his team KHI’s VP, Josh Jones, during a plane ride to New Hampshire. He asked Jones to get a pie with lots of creams and store it in the refrigerator.

“Kevin comes in blindsides me and essentially punches me in the face with a pie,” Hamlin said.

Denny continued, “He got me good with that pie certainly, it was a situation where he creamed intensity level up quite a bit more, he’s going to make sure he got the good end of that exchange”
