“You can’t win a pissing contest with a skunk.”
Richard Childress 25 September 2010
Sprint Cup practice was eventful today as Kevin Harvick ran into Denny Hamlin on the track a few times causing a bit of damage on the right front and rear of Hamlin’s car. When both drivers were called to the garage by NASCAR a war of words ensued between crew chiefs, drivers, and various members of both teams which resulted in Director of Competition John Darby and other NASCAR officials stepping in. It is believed the incident was sparked by comments made by Hamlin during yesterday’s press conferences. Hamlin had a lot to say about Clint Bowyer’s 33 Team’s penalties for failing post-race inspection last week. While it appeared all of the drivers were asked about the incident, Denny’s response seemed the most provocative.
Kyle Busch has broken Sam Ard’s record of 11 wins in a row in the Nationwide (formerly Busch) Series by winning the race today at Dover. Congratulations CandyMan!
There was an ugly wreck when Elliott Sadler spun out and hit the wall, then his car slid down the track and was hit hard by Drew Herring in his second Nationwide Series appearance. Danica was in this race and blew a tire to bring out the first caution and lost 97 laps before coming back out and getting some lap time.
