Short track races usually lead to short tempers, and that's what happened with some drivers in Sunday's race, for the second time in the last three races. First, Brian Vickers and eliminated Chase driver Kasey Kahne had a couple of run-ins with each other on the track. A few laps after the second incident between the two drivers, NASCAR reported that Vickers and Kahne were "done", meaning not that they had been parked for the remainder of the race, but simply that officials had told them to stop the antics and just race. Kahne was later caught up in a crash with Chaser Brad Keselowski and other drivers.
Later in the race, Matt Kenseth and Kevin Harvick went after each other while on the track. Harvick had spun earlier, causing damage to his car that his crew scrambled to fix so they wouldn't lose too many championship points. He spent the rest of the race with his car's front sheetmetal removed, and it was in this condition that his car came into contact with Kenseth's. Kenseth got into a fight two weeks ago with Keselowski at Charlotte, after the Saturday night race there that Harvick won to make the cut for the Eliminator round.
