NASCAR drivers Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick still haven’t settled their feud that began with an October 2008 crash at Talladega Speedway.

On the morning of March 19, the 2 drivers got into an argument during a practice at Tennessee’s Bristol Motor Speedway in preparation for the Ford City 500 on March 21. Harvick later said Edwards was “fake as hell” on the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show.

In response, Edwards told the press he had “absolutely no respect” for Harvick and isn't afraid to tell it to his face.

We've had our deal before and his actions through that interaction were so devious and underhanded and cowardly that it's like I just have no respect for him,” said Edwards.

Their feud dates back 2 years to a race in Talladega, Alabama when Edwards’ unstable #99 Ford nudged another vehicle and caused a wreck that caught Harvick’s #29 Chevrolet.

Carl Edwards Feud with Brad Keselowski Stems from Crash

Earlier this month at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, Edwards caused Brad Keselowski’s #12 Dodge to crash in the Kobalt Tools 500 with less than 5 laps to go.

Edwards was retaliating for an incident earlier in the race when Keselowski nudged his car into Joey Logano’s #20 Toyota, effectively sidelining Edwards’ car in the garage for the next several hours. When he returned to the track 150 laps behind, he clipped Keselowski’s vehicle, causing it to go airborne and crash toward the end of the race.

No Confrontation Between Carl Edwards and Brad Keselowski at Bristol

At the March 21 Bristol race, fans were relieved—and some disappointed—that Edwards and Keselowski didn’t get into another on-track confrontation.

It looked like there would have been a repeat of Atlanta when Edwards slowly crept up behind Keselowski, but rather than cause another wreck, Edwards passed him on the inside.

Before the race, Keselowski made it known that he wasn’t afraid to race Edwards.
