Kevin Harvick recently retweeted a throwback video of himself posted by NASCAR’s official Twitter account.

Meanwhile, it isn’t the first time Hamlin has spoken up on the incident. A few years ago, the resurfaced video drew an interesting response from the #11 Toyota driver. Hamlin commented, “I’m glad the pie cushioned the punch to the face @KevinHarvick #wearenteven”

Hamlin’s reaction came at a time when the two were involved in a fierce battle for the championship in 2020, However, it seems like things have cooled down between them since.
