Harvick: The rager of the 2000s Harvick: The cool cucumber of the 2010s and 2020s

[@alemarion]

Same with Kurt Busch.

[@blowncopcar]

Lol half this video is from 2010 on

[@D5YouTube]

Literally half of this video is from 2010 or after.. what are you talking about

[@DupontandLowesWarrior]

Also Harvick: Serial Killer with Horsepower

[@the_elmeister]

I feel like Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart will be inspirations on creating badasses in the future. Look at Ross Chastain. He’s a badass and a hothead. He reminds me of Harvick and Stewart honestly

[@bluecup1129]

Harvick in RCR: “you got in my way now your gonna die” Harvick in SHR: “Son go drive drive”

[@walterwyatt7522]

i guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!

[@walterwyatt7522]

@Canaan Jeffrey thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

As someone who used to be very anti-Harvick I can concur with this.

[@simshadyhagrmfchevy3908]

Lmao really? That last one was just a few weeks ago....jj is a puss

[@BarryJowers]

That black and silver 29 Goodwrench car from 2003 on was the best looking race car on the track. Such a nice looking car

[@slimbrady6691]

The black Mobil 1 scheme he runs now reminds me a lot of it.

[@rdaws73]

100% 2003-2006 hands down best scheme ever

His 2007 Shell/Pennzoil scheme is one of if not my favorite scheme of all time.

So are we just gonna forget about the time Kevin pushed Brad Keselowski into the wrath of Jeff Gordon?

It goes to show in RCR equipment he was always so frustrated. Imagine what Earnhardt could have done in Stewart-Haas equipment. RCR was never a pinnacle level team which increases the legend of Earnhardt.

[@slimbrady6691]

I feel like they had pretty good equipment back in Earnhardt's hay day but they definitely had fallen off towards the end of his run. By the time Harvick took over they weren't very good at all.

[@CB-jk3ue]

yup hot head, its always someone else's fault. Going through life that way has to be hard. Being an aggressive racer isn't the same as being a bully. same as Smoke and Kesawhatever if you can't take it don't dish it out. Usually when they complained about something ( blocking ) they go out the next time a cause a wreck themselves doing it...
