Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano have another dust up at Daytona
By Phil Watson
The nearly 5-year-old feud between Sprint Cup drivers Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick shows no signs of abating, as the two were nose to nose again Saturday.
Well, that didn’t take long.
Drivers Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick closed out last season in a tiff and that apparently hasn’t changed this year.

Of course, the bad blood between the two dates back to 2010, so peace in our time just might not be possible.
The drivers were nose to nose—with Harvick still in his racing helmet—after Saturday night’s Sprint Unlimited at Daytona International Speedway after trading some paint during the 75-lap exhibition.
Logano came up behind Harvick, whose car had already sustained some damage, and nudged him from the rear. Harvick’s car slid up into the wall and the driver was not pleased.
“He thinks he was helping, but you can’t just drive somebody straight into the corner into the fence,” Harvick said, via ESPN.com. “He kind of did the same thing to me at Talladega. I told him, ‘The karma train is coming after you.’ And it bit him right in the [butt]. … I just didn’t appreciate just getting straight drove into the wall.”
The drivers banged their cars into each other on pit road at the race’s conclusion before having a discussion. The video of the incident is below:
At Talladega last October, Harvick was critical of Logano’s blocking maneuvers, claiming they helped Logano’s teammate, Brad Keselowski, win the race.
“Whether it’s an all-star race or not, it doesn’t really matter. You can’t just take your head off and throw it on the floorboard and not use your brain,” Harvick said of Logano.
“He’s just Kevin,” Logano countered. “He’s an instigator, right? It’s the same thing he is every other time he talks to someone. It’s the same old crap. It just happens all the time. It’s no big deal.”
