NASCAR Fun: Hamlin Throws Car Part at Harvick After Crash

Oh those angry boys of NASCAR...

Saturday night at Bristol showed yet again why race car drivers need to learn somehow to control their tempers.

Racing under the lights with the lead, Denny Hamlin slowed slightly coming off a corner. Kevin Harvick, just behind Hamlin tries to get behind him, but misjudges Hamlin's move, hits the back of Hamlin's car and sends him spinning.

Hamlin's car tags Dale Earnhardt Jr, taking out his door and side panels and for a brief moment, chaos ensues.

Hamlin eventually gets out of the car and in a fit of anger, grabs the Hans device (neck restraint) and throws it at Harvick's car when it passes by again under caution.

It didn't do any damage, but the point being, why throw something at him? And then the post wreck interview?

Yeah, we get it, racing is intense and nobody wants to back down. But when you are driving that fast in a tight pack of cars, accidents happen.  They always will.

For what it's worth, Joey Logano would go on to take the checkered flag and get the win.

Video of the crash, Hamlin's interview and shot of him throwing stuff at Harvick are all on this clip from NASCAR.com:

It's Official: The Battle at Bristol--CFB at NASCAR

150,000 plus College Football fans in one of NASCAR's fabled tracks.

Yup, we told you just last week that Virginia Tech and The University of Tennessee would be squaring off in 2016 at the Bristol Motor Speedway.

Today, the schools, the track and NASCAR made it official.

The game slated for September 10th of 2016, assuming it's played, could potentially set the World Record for highest attendance figure at a College Football game. The stands are slated to be ready to host 150,000 screaming fans.

And according to the Knoxville News-Sentinel, the attendance will reflect on how much each school could make. Reporter Evan Woodberry says both schools will get 40,000 tickets each. If they sell those tickets, it's a $4 million payout.

We think this is a great idea and are surprised nobody has thought about it sooner.

They did, they just couldn't pull it off.

Why not put this kind of game half way between two of College Football's best drawing teams. We're betting if this works, you'll see it happen more often.

College Football at Bristol Speedway: Yes Please

Do you think going to Neyland Stadium with 106,000 or so is crowded? Or going to Lane Stadium with 80,000 or so of your closest friends is a handful?

Well, what if we told you that Tennessee and Virginia Tech were going to play football in 2016.

At the Bristol Motor Speedway

In front of roughly 150-160,000....

CBSSports.com writer Bruce Feldman tweeted Wednesday afternoon the two schools, separated by just a few hours on I-81 will square off on the infield of the famed track.

We're guessing there will be tickets for everyone too...

It could potentially be a tailgaters dream.

For those of you unfamiliar with the track:
