CONCORD, N.C. - Sprint Cup Series drivers Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards got into a verbal and physical altercation Thursday afternoon in the Nationwide Series garage at Lowe's Motor Speedway, several witnesses confirmed.

The incident started in the garage beside Harvick's No. 33 Chevrolet when Edwards walked over from his area, located two spaces down, to talk to Harvick, witnesses said.

After heated words were exchanged, the witnesses said, Harvick appeared to turn away from Edwards, who then reached for Harvick's shoulder, as if to turn him back around. Harvick responded by shoving Edwards, who landed on the No. 33 Chevrolet, denting the right-front section of the hood.

People who saw the altercation, including the driver of Harvick's motorcoach, Jeff Smith, jumped in to separate Edwards and Harvick, the witnesses said. At one point, Smith had Edwards in a headlock, the witnesses said, but no punches were apparently exchanged between the drivers.

Photos were taken of the incident, but were not immediately available.

The confrontation stemmed from remarks Harvick made after Sunday's race at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, in which Harvick called Edwards a "pansy" for riding around in the back of the pack before eventually moving to the front and running with the leaders. Soon after joining the lead pack, Edwards' car hit teammate Greg Biffle's car, touching off a 12-car wreck that collected Harvick, among others.

Before returning to North Carolina last weekend, Edwards left a handwritten note for Harvick with the pilot of Harvick's plane. The Charlotte Observer and ThatsRacin.com obtained a photo of the note, which said, "Kevin, Thanks for (expletive) me on TV - I was really trying to screw up everyone's day. Love, Carl."

Neither Edwards nor Harvick would comment further and Edwards declined several times to address the matter when asked about it while meeting with reporters in the Cup garage.

NASCAR had no immediate comment.

I read there were photos maybe vid???

Harvick called him a pansy. And after Carl running a race like I know he probably didnt want to race as such. That set him off. I really dont blame Carl as he probably didnt like being catagorized with the ULTIMATE PANSY IN THE 48 Car ....

And from what I heard from the garage they had to replace the hood on a Nationwide car after Harvick pushed Carl onto it. I believe it was Harvick's car. Harvick might be small but don't mess with him or you will get whats coming. Enjoy the pics!!!

Yes! If you are going to be so careless to cause a wreck that takes out yourself and 2 other teammates as well as a bunch of other championship contenders...dont come crying to me about what i said about you and dont come running your mouth about it either!

OK, so if this really happened don't you think dude would have lost the glasses off the top off his head? I cry WWF all for show.

At the least he was racing when he crashed out half the field. Harvick has a point but I think the "pansy" comment was directed to the wrong person .. imo ... Believe the pics to be true... no tellin'. Fightin' and such isnt carls forte'. Thanks for sharing the pics. GO 99

It looks as if Harvick isn't human there. Maybe he's an android.

I did notice some movement in the positioning of the glasses and if they have rubber tips on the end of the legs (as most of them do) they would stick like glue to his hat.
