Harvick / Edwards Fight Photos
Photos of the Kevin Harvick / Carl Edwards fight photos
The Associated Press has released photos of the fight between Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards.
There is almost as much controversy surrounding the release of the photos as the fight itself. It seems NASCAR and track officials were slow to release the photos — and did so only after a ton of complaints from the media.
Who is paying the photographers?

Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards Get Into Fight at Charlotte
Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards were involved in a heated argument that turned into an all-out brawl Thursday afternoon at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
Harvick, Edwards and David Ragan were gathered in the Nationwide Series garage riding out an afternoon rainstorm when things turned ugly.
“The deal with me and Harvick is between me and him and there’s nothing else to talk about. That’s just what it is — we know where each other stand and that’s it.” ~ Carl Edwards after climbing off the hood of Kevin Harvick’s car.
It seems that Carl Edwards was still a little miffed because Kevin Harvick called him a ‘pansy’ for riding around at the rear of the field at Talladega last Sunday.
After Edwards called Harvick out over his comments the two drivers exchanged intense words – then Harvick tried to turn and walk away.
That’s when Edwards grabbed him on the shoulder and spun Harvick around.
Harvick then shoved Edwards across the hood of the No. 33 Chevrolet – leaving a huge dent in the process.
Jeff Smith, who drives Harvick’s motor coach, stepped in and put Edwards in a headlock before the fight escalated any further.
The trouble has been brewing since Sunday at Talladega when Carl Edwards left a note with the pilot of Harvick’s Learjet that, according to The Charlotte Observer, read: “Kevin, Thanks for [profane] me on TV. I was really trying to screw up everyone’s day. Love, Carl.”
Jimmie Johnson and Greg Biffle must be loving this. If Edwards gets fined and docked championship points by NASCAR over the fight it will put the two of them alone at the top of the Championship standings.
Word is that a Lowe’s Motor Speedway staff photographer caught pictures of the whole thing – we’ll see if the speedway will release them.
If the motor coach driver hadn’t broken things up I think Harvick could have taken him. Who do you think would have won the fight?
