Harvick calls Edwards a ‘fake’

Kevin Harvick had no intention of holding back when asked about the Carl Edwards Brad Keselowski Atlanta incident on Wednesday's "Bubba The Love Sponge" radio show (www.BTLS.com).

Harvick had strong words for Edwards, but supported NASCAR's decision to place Edwards on a three-race probation.

Harvick said, "I'll be honest with you, I'm not a huge Carl Edwards fan. I think he's fake as hell. But, for me the whole situation is, I think NASCAR handled it good. I wasn't critical of it, I just said that I guess I grew up getting in trouble in NASCAR in the wrong era because it cost me a hell of a lot more money than it did these guys. But, that's OK. It's a new era and new things and new restrictions and I agree with letting the drivers handle things between themselves."

"I still think if Carl had to do it over again he would do it a little bit differently. You can make life hell on somebody for a long time and they can think your going to wreck them for a year, so it's all how you want to use it. It's all just how you want to use that and for how long you want to use it before you get even. Either way, you at least wait until the corner, you don't crash them in the middle of the straightaway. I wouldn't have handled it that particular way, I would of at least waited until the corner." – John 'Captain Thunder' Nevins – www.CaptainThunderRacing.com
