At the Bristol Motor Speedway, Kevin Harvick and Chase Elliott tangled with each other. However, as the two locked horns in the pit lane, things were about to get ugly. Admittedly, Elliott seems like he is ready to move on from the Brawl. As for Harvick, he is having difficulty letting bygones be bygones.

Before the race in Las Vegas, Harvick spoke about the incident and opened up whether or not they cleared the air between themselves.

“It was identical”- Kevin Harvick

Detailing the insights of his conversation with Elliott, Kevin said, “It was identical. It’s 100% the exact same scenario. They get hung up on one thing and you can’t speak to them about the broader picture about how the whole thing works. It was like speaking to a 9-year old. I have good experience with it because that’s a daily process day in, day out.”

Without a doubt, Elliott certainly wants to let things be. However, it seems apparent that Harvick was still too incensed with the Hendrick Motorsports driver. In all honesty, his fury is understandable because he was in a prime position to win the race. The Stewart-Haas driver was also a little desperate, as he has not reached Victory Lane all season.

Will the two drivers move on from their fight?

To have a win cruelly snatched would have been devastating. Naturally, Harvick was still steaming about it, because he finished 2nd to Kyle Larson and lost a chance to improve his position.
