Kevin Harvick did not like Kyle Busch wrecking John Hunter Nemechek at the end of the NASCAR Cup Series race at Texas. On Kevin Harvick\u2019s Happy Hour,<\/a> Harvick shared his reaction to the wreck and Busch calling out Nemechek on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that John Hunter Nemechek did anything wrong right here,\u201d Kevin Harvick said. \u201cRegardless of where they are, Kyle has to give him the room, and they\u2019re going straight, and he turned over the front of John Hunter Nemechek\u2019s car, put them both into the wall. They go into Turn 3, and then he wipes him out again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harvick then said he wants Busch to win as much as anyone. He then mentioned that at the end of Sunday\u2019s race, Busch \u201cput a damper on what was a huge turnaround for his team.\u201d Had the wreck not happened, Busch would have had a strong finish and left Texas with momentum.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut instead, now you got to deal with all of this nonsense at the end of the race, what was otherwise a complete win for the eight car with a new crew chief for the whole day and the whole weekend,\u201d Harvick added. \u201cAll you had was positives all weekend, and then it turns into a disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wreck happened on the final lap<\/a> at Texas Motor Speedway, and both drivers were battling for 13th place. After the race, Nemechek called out Busch for the incident. <\/p>\n

\u201cNot freaking clear,\u201d\u00a0Nemecheck wrote<\/a>. \u201cGreat day going, and just got wrecked. What an ass.\u201d This led to Busch responding to Nemechek, saying the wreck wasn\u2019t his fault. <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI did not start this,\u201d\u00a0he wrote on X\/Twitter.\u00a0<\/a>The 42 apparently doesn\u2019t know where the RS of his car is and where he is in relation to the outside wall. There was 2 ft outside him, and I was judging my left side tires to the hash marks. Always know who you\u2019re racing beside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately, it was another challenging day for Busch, who has not won a Cup Series race since 2023. He will look to break that trend on Sunday, when the drivers head to Watkins Glen, New York, for the road-course race, Go Bowling at the Glen at Watkins Glen International.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kevin Harvick did not like Kyle Busch wrecking John Hunter Nemechek at the end of the NASCAR Cup…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":651201,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,82],"class_list":["post-651200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nascar","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651200","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=651200"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/651200\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/651201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=651200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=651200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=651200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
