TALLADEGA, Ala. -- A misunderstanding between Stewart-Haas Racing teammates Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch ended with a confrontation on Talladega Superspeedway pit road following Sunday's Hellmann's 500.
Busch finished fourth and Harvick finished seventh. After they parked their cars on pit road, Harvick walked over to Busch, who was still sitting in his race car, leaned inside and had words with his teammate after delivering a jab inside the window.
"He [Busch] cleaned the side of our car out after the checkered flag," Harvick said afterward. "I don't understand that."
Harvick said his car "didn't have a scratch on it" until the cool-down lap contact with Busch. Asked if Busch gave Harvick an explanation for the incident, Harvick said only, "Not really."
Busch was also asked his view of the situation during a pit-road interview with NBCSN later.
"He has a misunderstanding of the call at the end of the race," Busch said. "He'll understand it and I'm sure he'll clear it up in his interview. For us, we're great teammates, we're doing good together and we have to work together to beat all these other teams out there. And he knows that."
