The Infamous Greg Biffle and Kevin Harvick Incident
In the high-octane world of NASCAR racing, heated rivalries and intense emotions often spill over onto the track. One such unforgettable incident occurred between Greg Biffle and Kevin Harvick at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2002. Let’s delve into the details of this dramatic clash that left a lasting impact on both drivers and the sport.
The conflict began during an Xfinity Series race at the half-mile oval in Bristol. Greg Biffle, known for his aggressive driving style, made contact with Kevin Harvick’s car on lap 241 of 250. Harvick, not one to take such actions passively, patiently waited until the race concluded.
As Biffle crossed the finish line in fifth place, Harvick seized his opportunity. Climbing atop a pit box, he plotted his next move. When Biffle entered the pit road, Harvick launched a surprise attack. He leaped over Biffle’s car, diving into a scrum, and lunged at Biffle’s throat. The media captured the entire sequence, immortalizing it in NASCAR lore.
