8. Harvick Takes Shot At Patrick-Stenhouse Headlines

Feb 2013

Kevin Harvick wasted little time taking a shot at the media Saturday night.

Just minutes after winning the Sprint Unlimited exhibition race, Harvick ripped reporters for making such a big deal out of Danica Patrick's budding romance with fellow Sprint Cup rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

"I think the biggest thing is how are we going to get Danica and Ricky on the front page tomorrow?" Harvick quipped. "I missed all you guys (at Media Day) because you were all busy being TMZ the other day. Now, you all have to talk to me and I can be a complete (jerk)."

No doubt, Patrick and Stenhouse shared the spotlight at Media Day and surely will garner plenty of attention during Speedweeks.

To be fair, though, both have been open and eager to talk about their dating life.

But not everyone believes their relationship should dominate headlines.

IMO, Nascar 'engineered' this one just to provide some drama and perhaps fill a few more vacant seats that they have been unable to fill the last few years.
