When Joey Logano arrived at Michigan International Speedway Friday he was still fired up about last Sunday’s on-track contact and post-race confrontation with Kevin Harvick.

“I don’t take nothing back,” Logano said. “I’m a man of my word. I said what I said and that’s it.”

In response to Logano’s words about Kevin and DeLana Harvick that “His wife wears the firesuit in the family and tells him what to do,” DeLana Harvick has began selling T-Shirts that say “I Wear the Firesuit in the Family,” with proceeds going to charity.

“It’s kind of agreeing with what I said, so I think it’s funny,” Logano said Friday at Michigan about the shirts.

In Logano’s eyes Kevin Harvick intentionally spun him. “I had a top-five finish going and it was taken away from me,” Joey Logano said. “I was mad. I’d had enough of that.” Don’t expect either one of them to forget it any time soon.

“I guess I surprised a lot of people. It’s not the first time I’ve been mad, I just don’t show it a lot in public,” said Logano.

It looks like Harvick vs. Logano is the biggest rivalry in NASCAR right now. What do you think?

  2. If you look at the replay Logano came down on Kevin, but regardless you do not bring a wife, girlfrient into any situation at the race track. And his father should be baned from the pit area. If his son is not big or old enough to race with the big boys then take him out but Nascar should not allow his father in the pits.

  4. I like Kevin Harvick but enough is enough. This kind of bull on the track most times ends up taking out innocent victims. It seems Kevin has a problem with Joey so why doesn’t he just tell the kid and work it out before he ends up taking out not only Joey on the track. And what’s up with not getting out of the car to face Joey. Back in the day Kevin did not have a problem leaping over Greg Biffle’s busch car to attach him. Is he really afraid that little, skinny Joey will beat him up. Come on Kev at least have the b—- to face the kid you keep wrecking……..

  6. In this case I don’t think it was Kevin’s fault although he probably could have avoided it. I don’t think you should bring family into it. Leave it between the racers.

  8. Kevin, I think you owe Joey an apology. Everyone wants to win, but whatever happened to winning fairly? If you can’t beat the other guy with speed, why not just bow out gracefully? No need to cause crashes. Just put yourself in his place.

  12. Kudos to you Joey for standing up to Kevin. Big deal for what he said about Delana. She even said it was no big deal. It was just racing and that’s what fans have been complaining about. Kevin didn’t even have guts enough to get out of the car!

    Joey came down and Harvic wanted the “patch”, In my mind Joey was ahead of Harvic and should have owned the spot. Harvic took advantage of the low side holding his line knowing Joey would go for the line. I think Joey’s spotter should have helped him more knowing the history or he couldn’t see. Harvic could have been in Joey’s blind spot. Regardless Harvic could have gave way and saved a lot of folks a ton of cash. Kevin was in the wrong and not MAN enough to say I’m sorry, because he wasn’t sorry that’s why. I won’t even comment on the “firesuit in the family”, o well I will. You don’t see JR havin’ a GOLD BRICKER hanging on for the $. Kyle Bush even has a HO. MONEY, ALL FOR THE MONEY.
    Race Winches, say that 5 times fast, that is all they are, WINCHES.

    I agree with Joey, it’s about time someone stood up to Kevin!!!! Kevin seems to feel that he is never in the wrong & that he rules the roost!!! Guess what Kevin, time to eat crow, or grow-up, be a man & say you were in the wrong & apologize!!! Are you n a man or baby?

  18. YOU GO JOEY. THE LEAST HARVIC COULD HAVE DONE IS TO GET OUT OF HIS CAR. THINK MAYBE HE WAS A LITTLE SCARED? MAYBE IN TIMES PAST, HE LET HIS MOUTH OVERLOAD HIS _ _ _ AND THOUGHT BETTER OF GETTING OUT OF HIS CAR. HARVIC IS GOOD AT DUMPING PEOPLE, BUT DOESN’T LIKE IT IF SOMEONE DUMPS HIM. I’M GLAD JOEY IS FINALLY SHOWING A LITTLE AGGRESSION AND THIS FEUD IS NOT OVER, I DON’T THINK. “GO JOEY”!!!!!!!!!

  20. Tony you got it right I have never liked Harvick and remember a few years ago when a couple of them girls got into after a race I thought that was ridiculous then. Never did figure out why Ms Harvick wears the firesuit anyway. And by the way Kev take your hat off an be American after all this is the place you get to act like an idiot and be a chicken.

  22. I THINK JOEY HAS CAME INTO A MAJOR CHALLENGING SPORT AT A YOUNG AGE AND REPRESENTED HIMSELF OUTSTANDINGLY…WITH CLASS. AND KEVIN HARVICK BEING A VETERAN NASCAR RACER SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF FOR BULLING JOEY. MAN UP AND HAVE SOME CLASS KEVIN..YOUR A GREAT RACER TOO…

    Boys will be boys no matter how old they are. Joey is still in the puberty stage and Kevin is already entering the balding stage. Now, do you remember when you were growing up and your parents taught you to pick on someone your own size or someone the same age? Racing is something you settle on the track and off is settled by the officials. Joey was wrong to act as the child that he is and Kevin too doesn’t need his wife to settle anything pertaining to racing. Neither Kevin’s wife or Joey’s father are there to interfere with something that happened on the race track and should both be banned from post race decisions.
    Yes she wears a firesuit, as she is part owner in their own team. (But that allows her entery on pit row. Whereas Joey’s father has no reason to be there at all)

  24. I have mite joey and i have a friend who is friend of kevin and they a both acting because its nascar its something to get us all to talk about but I think what Joey said is true but he has the right to say it and as alot of men that are married let there women wear the firesuit I think they have lost there back bone. after they say I do

    [Reply]

    Why does Kevin’s boss wear the suit? Cause she is the BOSS, and has her sticky grubby fingers elbow deep in the FAMILY pie. She is laying the ground work as a major part of everything Harvick in the event of a split. To that point there will be full documentation with no confusion as to her role in the business and standard of living. In other words, she’s set “jam up and jelly tight.” She will get her part and more. I will bet Kevin don’t have a second to himself except in the “CRAPPER”. As Tami said a lot of them after marriage have lost their back bone. How true Tami!!!

    Joey you go race this weekend and do what you have been doing, “out driving Harvick”.

  26. Please, Kevin would snap him like a twig (or shrub) He stayed in the car ,(probably laughing his butt off.)because he didn’t want to be dogged for years for smacking that sissy looking young-en. Joey is still quivering

  28. The replay says it all. Joey came down into Kevin. I agree that if they have conflicts, that it should be left between the racers and not bring in the family. I think Joey owes Delana a very big public apology.

  30. Joey’s dad is the one who should be banned from NASCAR Cup Races. Joey came down on Delana to much. I would agree that Joey should make a public apology to Delana – Joey’s a race driver true, but an extremely poor example of a person who would downgrade any lady, be it Delana or someone else. Joey needs to keep his emotions in check and his father needs to stay out of Joey’s racing events If Joey’s father cannot stay out of the way – then – NASCAR must
    ban him from any and all tracks that NASCAR races on. Joey is the racer.

  32. Joey is playing with the big boys now. He needs to learn the veterans aren’t going to put up with the young ones especially the ones that have to bring daddy with them.

  34. If you don’t want your wife or girlfriend talked about don’t let her be a part owner
    or wear a drivers suit. About Joeys father. If you had a son racing and you thought he was hurt. What would you do? Think about it. As far as Joeys driving
    I think he has proved that he is one of the best new drivers and he has also proved he can manup when he needs to.
