(Deadspin)
Last year, it was Kevin Harvick deciding to let a lot of people beat the shit out of Brad Keselowski rather than taking the matter into his own hands.
This year, he's just taken matters into his own hands to ensure qualification, and the only question now is whether they're rigging him another title, or whether NASCAR is so fucking incompetent that they know fuck all for what they're doing!
Today was the third and final race of Round 2 of the Chase -- after today, 8 drivers would remain, and we're in Talladega.
We're into NASCAR's version of overtime, and the word is that NASCAR only was going was going to attempt the Green-White-Checkered finish once.
So Kevin Harvick wrecks several of his competitors in the Chase and qualifies as a result.
And when you hear the rest of the story, it's even worse.
The original thought was that Harvick intentionally wrecked the field to see if he could manipulate his way in.
The truth appears to be far worse for NASCAR.
The broadcast of the race indicated that Kevin Harvick's car could not go above the pace-car speed, and that the engine would break down the moment he attempted it.
So NASCAR ALLOWS THE RESTART, the engine goes blooey, and you get The Talladega Big One, Harvick into the next round once the placements are sorted out!
There's only two possibilities, Mike Helton (who has already absolved Harvick of wrongdoing):
Either you're too damn incompetent to oversee a car-racing league...
OR
You're going to rig that bitch Harvick another title!
(Oh, by the way, this is the second race this round that a key result was dictated by either intentional wreck or NASCAR incompetence.)
