Chase Elliott has been pretty vocal about his dissatisfaction with the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series Calendar. From the longer schedule to fewer night races, it’s been a change. But it seems Kevin Harvick has just joined his rival at last year’s Bristol race, as he is unhappy with the schedule too.

NASCAR really seems to have ignored the drivers.

Right after Elliott‘s sarcastic tweet about the 38-race schedule and the fewer night races, Harvick had some things to say too. And his thoughts are mixed.

While he is clearly excited about the season opener at the LA Coliseum again, he needs more than just a single 0ff weekend. Of course, every driver needs time off to spend time with their friends and family. Moreover, the championship race being at Phoenix again is not something the Stewart-Haas Racing driver likes.

But the interesting part is that he seems to be happy about the Chicago Street race, but not so much about the Indianapolis Roaf Course. Of course, after what happened in this year’s Indy road course, he obviously wouldn’t be happy.

But what actually happened at the Indy Road Course that made him dislike the track so much?

What happened to Kevin Harvick at the Indianapolis Road Course

Well, drivers are not a fan of the track in the first place, but this year’s race was even more interesting. Especially after many pileups, one of them took the #4 car in the 4-wide sandwich. Of course, he was pissed.

In fact, Harvick asked who caused all the wrecks. To which, his spotter replied by saying it was five people who caused the pileup. But his reaction to that was hilarious, “Good, tell me all five of them so I can wreck every one of them,”

Of course, the famous crew chief of the #4 car, Rodney Childers has some words to share too, “I can’t believe we’re going through racing with a bunch of hacks like this,”

I guess, we can understand why Kevin doesn’t want to go back to the Indianapolis Road Course. But do you want the race to continue there?
