* ... and thank you, Spiro Agnew, you slimy old crook, for coming up with that one. The Blob has always been partial to it. Especially now, because we're about to discuss Nattering Nabobs.
Come on down, Chase Elliott and Kevin Harvick!
Who, if you're still paying attention to NASCAR now that football has started up again, got into it Saturday in the fabled (though not as much these days) Night Race At Bristol. It seems they got to banging on each other late with Harvick closing in on the win, and Harvick banged into Elliott so hard it flattened his tire, and when Elliott came back out he got in front of Harvick and deliberately slowed down, allowing Kyle Larson to catch up and pass him for the win four laps from the finish.
After which Harvick got in Elliott's face, and Elliott got in Harvick's face, and both said what guys say in these situations.
"We were racing for the frickin' win at Bristol, and he throws a temper tantrum ..." Harvick said of Elliott, who led a race-high 173 laps.
"It's something he does all the time. He runs into your left side constantly at other tracks ..." Elliott said of Harvick, who remains winless for the season.
Sooo, OK, then. Here's what the Blob thinks of all this.
One, Harvick is kind of a douchenozzle, and always has been.
Two, it's Bristol. Guys bang into each other all the time. Get over it.
And, three ... if Harvick didn't want Elliott blocking him, then punt him out of the way, the way Dale Earnhardt famously tried to do to Terry Labonte one year in the Night Race. It sent Labonte sliding across the finish line sideways with a busted-up car for the win.
Also, if Harvick wanted to win, then don't let Larson pass you. Put him in the wall if he tries. I believe that's called racin', especially at Bristol.
Oh, yeah. And let's put a "four" in there, too.
Don't be nattering nabobs. Y'all sound like a couple of whiners.
