Harvick Comments About Altercation With Biffle

For Immediate Release

Bristol, Tenn.

Harvick's comments concerning the post-race altercation with Greg Biffle at
Bristol Motor Speedway's NASCAR Busch Series race:

"Basically, he (Greg Biffle) got impatient and we were the second car he had
spun out today.  It wasn't just us that had been taken out today.  You know,
if he had got up under me, I would have just moved out of the way.  And he
would have went by.  But it's not like we were racing for the win.  We were
racing for seventh.  Seventh.  Obviously he's done it time and time again to
numerous and numerous amounts of people.  I just wasn't going to put up with
it.  I needed to let him know that I wasn't going to put up with it.

"You can't tolerate people shoving you around or putting you in the fence -
especially when we do these one race deals, and especially when people (like
him) are running for the (NASCAR Busch Series) championship.  I mean, it's
obvious we're running three races this season (in the Busch Series).  And if
I was him, I'd be a little worried about it.  But, it's Bristol, it's
racing, it's a lot of fun.  I enjoy coming here and always will, this is
just part of it."
