No. I mean its human nature to be doing so well and then something goes wrong to be mad or more likely disappointed.
Watching the replays they were side by side and Harvick came up into Stewart. There is a wall there so what are Stewarts choices? Let off and drop back far enough that he couldn't recover because its so late in the race, get run into the wall possibly wrecking both cars and again having no chance to win. Ride it out and hope he hits the side of the car and not the fenders. I think he chose right. It was the only 1 that wouldn't ruin his shot at winning.
I don't blame either. It was just hard racing at the end of a race. It wasn't intentional on either drivers part.

I don't think so, but I read an article on Nascar.com that Harvick is still mad a t Stewert, but he has gotten over it, I watched the whole race start to finish last Sunday and those final 20 laps were the best that I have seen in a long time. Both Harvick and Stewert were both going for the win and they even risked taking out. each other when they traded paint. Both Harvick and Stewert are good friends and Stewert occasionally drives Harvicks #33 Old Spick Chevy, in the Bush Series.

Everyone has a right to say/feel how they want to, so Yes. Plus, If I was Harvick, I'd been pretty upset too. Granted Kevin was racing Tony that hard w/ 16-20 laps left in the race, but Kevin knew that was his only shot at winning the race, and if Tony got by him, He would HAVE to settle for 2nd. Instead, he raced hard and got ran into pretty hard by Tony. I know Tony didn't do it on purpose, but that still is going to tick any driver off. Kevin showed good restraint I thought, because on the crossover move right after that.. I woulda banked off of Stewarts car hard enough to put him in the wall...twice...

Heck no he doesn't. I was at the race and saw it happen. That's what you call "racing"! He didn't put him into the wall, he didn't seriously damage his car, and Harvick himself said in an interview after the fact that he knew Stewart was going to pass him eventually anyway! He just did it on his own terms instead of Kevin's. I like Tony's driving style and if other drivers can't deal with a more aggressive opponent, they need to just stay out of his way! :)

I think he has a right to be somewhat angry and everything considering he lost alot of positions because I think that Tony was being a little impatient and wanted that spot a little to quickly and that Harvick and him started bumping into each other and it hurt Harvicks car.. I think he has a right to be mad but he shouldnt dwell on it.

Even though Tony upsets me sometimes, this just looked like two guys racing hard. If Harvick is mad at Tony, he shouldn't be. I can understand shey he is mad because it cost him several spots, but there was nothing intentional about it and I don't think Tony was doing something he should not have been.

He's not mad.. he is just frustrated that he lost the 2nd biggest race of the year. He will be fine by this week. Harvick is a competitor.. he does not like to lose. So it is only natural that he is frustrated... Tony has been there too.

I am a Harvick fan but I gotta tell ya, Kevin is being too sensitive on this one. Tony would never intentionally run into Kevin. They are too good of friends. I think it was accidental. Kevin needs to simmer down a little. Of course its easy for me to say that since I have no idea what its like from his perspective but he is a professional and that was normal racin' to me.

He got into Stewart just like Stewart got into him, and from what I've seen from rewinding the tape over and over is that the fender damage was done when Harvick hit Stewart. So I don't think he should be mad.
But just because I don't think he should be doesn't mean that he won't be. It's human nature to get mad when things are going good and something happens and it goes bad quickly.

NO!! Im so glad Tony won! If Harvick won, my first Brickyard experience wouldn't as been as fun as it was!! (no offense to Harvick fans) Tonys car was obviously better because he won....or hes just a better driver....
