INDIANAPOLIS -- Kevin Harvick was summoned to the NASCAR principal's office following the Allstate 400 to clarify post-race contact on the backstretch with race winner Tony Stewart.
Harvick said it was a standard congratulatory love tap, not retaliation for racing contact his team felt might have cost him the race. Thus he won't be penalized, NASCAR said.
Harvick and Stewart were racing for the lead with nine laps to go and made contact, caving in the left front fender of Harvick's Chevrolet and hurting the aerodynamics of the car. Harvick quickly dropped through the field and ultimately finished seventh.
"The car just won't go with 100 pounds of downforce knocked out of it," crew chief Todd Berrier said after the race.
Harvick was not happy
"He's always the first one to whine about people not giving him enough room, and I gave him plenty of room all day to race, and he winds up knocking the left front fender off, and we wound up finishing seventh," Harvick said. "It is what it is. Just race them how they race you."
Stewart said he made a mistake.
"I didn't mean to get into Kevin," Stewart said. "Winning that way would have ruined winning the Brickyard 400."

I think he was just messing around, but NASCAR might not see it that way... I'm not sure why Harvick fought Stewart so hard, Stewart obviously had a much faster car... If it would have been within five laps I could see it, but it was obvious tony was going to get around him. If Harvick would have just let him go by he might not have lost so many positions...

Tuesday when we find out if they are going to fine either of them for their lapses. Both which I thought were OK. The "donut" no big deal, like you said even Tony joked about it. Tony's thank you to his fans for sticking with him through the BS, may not get a penalty, since even NASCAR thought the delay was on.
