Negative good buddy. Dillon hasn't posted anything since Thursday. Harvick hasn't posted anything since yesterday morning.

I checked. No replay. I'll watch highlights online. I'm mostly bummed that I didn't get to see Bubba win. I've been following a bunch of those D4D drivers for a few years with Bubba being my favorite.

ok, I watched the vid at the point you said. I watched the vid below and I see Ty getting a piece of Harvick's truck as Harvick is coming down trying to get to the curb going into the turn. That sends Harvick up the track, allowing Ty to get to the inside of Harvick. Then Harvick comes down even though Ty is on the inside of him.

Ty had the inside lane, period. Harvick came down knowing damn well that Ty was there because Harvick was pissed. Harvick could have stay in the higher lane once Ty got to the inside of him, but he didn't.

Yes Ty roughed Harvick up a little to get to the inside of him, but so what? Harvick was doing it all day to others out there. The only difference is, they didn't drive down on Harvick once he got to the inside of them.

Start the vid at the 48 second mark.......

Looks like to me Dillon made a slight move to come up just past the apex of the turn. Like he was trying to jerk the chain on Harvick.

Full disclosure: I am a Harvick fan.

He was about as happy as a driver can get. He seems to be improving pretty quickly, did a great job today and didnt bring Kyle a smashed up truck.
I imagine you can see some of the good parts on mondays "race hub"
 
Its clear as day. Harvick was running his line and Ty bumped him. Ok that's that but he went for the kill on the second bump for some reason.

Harvick was already all types of loose with the first bump from Dillon so I dont know why you would completely spin the guy when he's already all over the place.
 
This was all Dillon. Harvick blocked and Dillon did a Stewart and wrecked him. Then when Harvick showed he wasnt happy Dillon tried to wreck him AGAIN.

These Dillons are so spoiled...I bet they got whatever they wanted.

By the way am I the only one that found it odd that Harvick was too damaged to continue when Dillon and Crafton had more damage and were fine?

The reason is, Harvick drove down on Ty because Harvick was mad.

I bet he gets released from his contract after this race.

And he finishes the season in the #14. No big loss to Harvick either way. What's three races worth of salary to Harvick anyway?

Besides, we all know drivers contracts have various trapdoors in them so they can be fired at almost any time for almost any reason. But, when a driver is 4th in the standings, I don't imagine many contract clauses that would allow Childress to fire him without pay, unless he tries to invoke some kind of morals clause. He might end up buying out his contract and paying him for the final three races anyway. But, it's an academic discussion anyway because I don't think Childress will fire him. And, as a Harvick fan, I'm not worried (see first sentence of this post).

What happens when a driver drives down on a truck/car that has a nose on the inside of him? He spins himself out.

There was plenty of room for Harvick to race in the high lane. There was nothing keeping Harvick from staying up there except for perhaps his temper. lol

I don't know what you're talking about. At about 0:51 of that video you posted, it very clearly looks like Dillon made a slight move to the outside.

That was my take on it too, like adding insult to injury.

I dont see it that way.

If Harvick drove down on him then why did Ty keep bumping Harvick? Like once wasn't enough? And what's more, Ty still wanted to keep wrecking him after the caution.

Blatant hate.

Yep...on a mission, would love to see Harvick actually pop this kid and teach him a little Nascar lesson, but that won't happen because Harvick is a wussy too that barks a lot but doesn't bite!

It looks like Ty hit the curb just before that, which sent him up the track just a tiny bit. But really, I don't think Dillon could have been any closer to the curb when all that happened. He was on the very bottom of the track.

Maybe Harvick should have given him room to race since Ty was already on the inside of him. Look at all the room Harvick had on the outside.

Because he was being pushed from behind?

Yes, Harvick had nothing to do with Ty trying to spin him after the caution. Completely unprovoked on Harvick's part. lol
 
Wait I thought he had enough room, now he was being pushed from behind? Make up your mind.

Ty was being pushed from behind. unHappy had enough room on the outside.

Just look at this enhanced image from the incident. It clearly shows Harvick was mad...

Harvick found out today that the youngsters are taken over this sport. Time for him and ron Hornaday to follow old onion head out the door. No place left for a jack*** that cant take what he dishes. Harvs been talkin about retiring from the truck series anyhow, good riddance............................ 2 series to go before its happy days for me :whoopee:

Muahahahha.

This is the most ironic thing someone has ever said on here.

No irony intended
Harv is a jack***

the youngsters are HUNGRY



Oh wait ................................ you are fixin to bring mr Busch into this huh ??:rolleyes:
 
I don't think much at all of Kevin Harvick as a person. Hell of a driver, but yeah. He's technically correct that the Dillon boys don't seem very interested in "paying their dues", but neither do any of the other young guns. Given how competitive things are now, I don't think they could get away with having that approach anyway. There is no patience on any level, and it's perform now or else. Harvick is the last driver who deserves any sort of deference as some kind of gentleman racer. Give me a freaking break. Same with Smoke. Those two were as big of careless "punks" for more years than any of the new faces have been around.

The other problem is this "rich kid" stuff. Look, auto racing is a sport with a high barrier of entry that lends itself to nepotism, and almost everyone who makes it to the NASCAR level had a family connection or big economic push from a wealthy benefactor to get there. I've seen too many ultra-talented working class drivers get left behind at the local level and rich kids advance whether they perform or not to believe otherwise. Sure, there are degrees, and some have to fight for it more than others. But almost every Cup or Nationwide driver grew up at bare minimum upper middle class. It's a pretty absurd to hear megamillionaires who buzz around in private jets to and from their $6.4 million vacation homes (http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/sto...ly-2M-less-than-previous-sale-49636765#!mNmpm) bemoan the rich kids who are invading their turf.

Most drivers come from pretty well-off families nowadays. Racing is so expensive it's extremely hard for even middle class families to afford it, let alone actual poor kids. The Dillon Bros are just even richer than the norm for racing families.

Some of the rags to riches stories you see in other sports like the NFL or NBA -- where the kid grows up on welfare and food stamps but becomes rich and famous due to their raw talent -- just aren't really possible nowadays in racing. The best we get are middle class to riches stories like Kyle Larson.

The Dillion boys riches are more than just money. They have had the backing, resources and experiences of a top Nascar team since they were racing tricycles. Money alone wouldn't guarantee you a quality racing career. If that was the case Brendan Gaughan would still be in Cup.

I believe what Ty said Reck, Dillon is running for a championship so why do something dumb. I have seen Harvick wreck Many folks for no reason at all. He bullied his way thru the pack today and got bit on the ***....................... I am happy happy happy. Harvicks words after the race were just the icing on the cake.
Nascar dont need a chump like that to be champion, I would rather see your guy win it, at least he acts like a pro most of the time ;)

Then I guess you hope your guy never wins a championship.

No point for Harvick to finish. No points just wins.
 
Harvick's truck looked good paintscheme wise today anyways. The syrup logo on the hood plus Kroger on the rearend was a goodlooking combo. I bet since he's won soooo often at that track, the Kroger folks probably felt like he had it in the bag right after "Gentlemen Start Your Engines"...
