He said, “The #4 was bout running over everybody. He wasn’t making any friends out there today. That just kind of goes to show what you’ve got to do in these races. It doesn’t matter who’s feelings you hurt and what’s going to come back on you next week. We saw it with me last year, the #4 dumped me at Martinsville, you know.

“Can’t say that I’ve been guilty of that yet, but there’s some dirty dudes out there.”

Kyle Busch mentioned this on the back of the feud between Chase Elliott and Harvick. Apparently, this has been going on since the Playoff race at the Bristol Motor Speedway.

What is the rivalry between Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick like?

The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is speaking from experience, because he has tangled with Harvick on multiple occasions. The earliest one was at the 2005 MBNA RacePoints 200 at the Dover International Speedway. Later on, the two of them took potshots at each other, and that wasn’t the last time.

The next time they clashed was at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2010. A year later, they duked it out at the Southern 500 at the Darlington Raceway. They would collide later on in the same year at Charlotte and at Pocono, before finally culminating it at the Martinsville Speedway in 2020. Luckily, the two have since calmed down their heated rivalry to grudging mutual respect.
