Harvick-Busch Adding Spice To A Lively 2011

The 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Season has already been a lively one. There have been angry Colombians (Juan Pablo Montoya), steaming engineers (Newman), cursing on the "In Car" radio (almost all drivers), and an appearance by the next Donald Trump (Truex firing his pit crew). Heck, even Jimmie Johnson has been pissy a few times with Chad Knaus on the radio. Shocking, I know!!

Now, to top it off, the two most volatile personalities in the garage, Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch, have decided to yet again fill the "NASCAR Bad Boy" role. The only problem is that they apparently decided to do so at the same time.

The two, as any fan knows, got into each other multiple times at Darlington, only to end up making a show on pit lane. The show even included a shove through the window by Harvick only to see Busch push his car into the pit wall. Maybe Busch was in "Bumpdrafter" mode??

The excellent TV has not stopped to this point. This week, the two met again via NASCAR hauler and had separate press conferences to answer about the closed door meetings and on-track horse play. Perhaps NASCAR wanted to capitalize on all of the hubbub. Either way, the two ended up throwing some more verbal "punches" through the press conferences, proving that the dislike is not likely to end any time soon.

As for more on-track issues, NASCAR will likely be as tough on these two as they were on JPM and Newman last week considering they are on a 4 week probation. Whether the 29 and 18 find each other at Dover or not, there will probably be plenty of carnage to go around as the "Monster Mile" is notorious for chewing drivers up and spitting them out in front of coming traffic.

Will there be more tempers this Sunday? I wouldn't bet against it.

NASCAR is riding this spat for all it's worth. That's why the penalties are a slap on the wrist.... and only for the off track issues! They want all the other drivers to know that, yes, it IS okay to intentionally wreck someone and get away with it. Ticket asles and TV ratings are all that ever matter at NASCAR.
