Greg Biffle Dives Into Rivalries With Jay Sauter, Kevin Harvick, Boris Said | The Dale Jr. Download

so you didn't have many conflicts but you had you had a notable dispute with harvick yep multiple times it seemed like yep um jay salter came into the car and threw a punch at you is that true vice versa yeah vice versa you threw a bunch of handbooks yeah so oh that was at richmond yeah i remember that infinity race yep so so i was being probably a little aggressive and we had a full we had the field stacked up behind us there was a full straightaway in front of us and he was holding everyone up i nudged him a little bit off of two and uh probably the nudge he wasn't able to hold on to it and he wrecked and so he went in the pits and said i'm going to fix my car and go back out and wreck him and that's what he did yeah you know we were running for a championship he comes back on the track and just wipes me out off off a turn four right did that did that punch land yes and did he have his helmet still on uh he did and so but there was no haunts and i punched him right in the collar bone on the side of the neck right under the helmet i'm not going to found him in the helmet you found a vulnerable spot for it so i was upset yeah sure but what did he did y'all have conversation afterwards ever no we did i think later on yeah yeah but it was but that was the end of it i was looking around the infield care center when i was over there i was still pretty upset had you ever done anything like that up until that point had you ever punched somebody in a car and had you ever been in fights out of the car not not really yeah not particularly i mean not at the racetrack when you when harvard come over the roof of the car bristol did you think did you were you shocked i wasn't i wasn't really shocked so that punch jay sauter cost me fifteen thousand dollars oh and roush fenway made me pay for it out of my money and they they penalized me points so i got points taken away and a fifteen thousand dollar fine so fast forward to the next year when we're at bristol and i give harvick the little nudge the bump and run and he he you watch the video he he over corrects and just drove it straight in the fence to the right you know and i'm not going to say i'd have saved it or he just said yeah whatever but it's you know so when i saw harvard coming and my crew guys said hey you're you know he's coming down he's coming yeah yeah and i said i'm not i'm not i'm not gonna touch him i'm not doing nothing i'm gonna keep my hands to my side because i would have you know if that wouldn't happen if i wouldn't got fined and that i probably would have hit him with uppercut just knocked him out right as he jumped off the back of the car you know i mean i would have but i'm like i just kept my hands to my side i said i'm not doing anything because i'm leading the points and i'm trying to win the title and they they took away the same thing you still remember from a year ago where you had the points absolutely and i got a stark lesson on no fight nascar then okay not today nascar then was no there's no fighting there's no there's none of that so whatever what i can remember from that is that that um obviously the media plays this up right sure so the the thing happens at bristol and the media plays it up and i mean i don't know we we just now stopped seeing that when we go to bristol it might actually come back up this weekend but uh yeah so i used to i used to hate that as a driver but now i understand yeah why sell sells tickets but there was a lot going on it wasn't just you and harvick jimmy spencer and jack sprague were also uh jack is running down the front straightaway oh i didn't know that they say at the same rate same not only the same race but that fight is about to happen because i'm working for spencer jimmy sent jack just hard into the wall and they were all racing in the top three and uh jack is running down the straightaway after spencer and that's about to happen as soon as that happens though harvick comes off and both of those drivers are now watching y'all y'all if you want to look at the silver lining you did avoid another fight that's good yeah if that makes you feel any better because jimmy now is up on the wall waving his towel getting the fans excited because there's this big melee going on in your car so i mean that there's just it's funny you say that nascar did not like fights because it all would have unraveled that day oh and i think that later on i think they recognized that that brings attention to fans and in 2000 whatever year it was you they didn't need any more fans and attention they already had it yeah but as that declines you're like okay what can we do to to make something exciting right but the the rival the thing with harvard carried on a little bit it did i think we had a run in like it martinsville one time in practice yeah you know and he pulled out in front of me we're making a run or vice versa and then break check me or something like that so i went down had some words with him about that you know yeah i remember that it almost just looked like a misunderstanding that you guys kind of handled uh civilly we did you guys go talk yeah i just walked down there and said you know did you mean to pull out in front of me didn't see me spotter didn't see you i don't i don't remember exact conversation you know but we we talked about it and you know that was that that was that so for and then you you know for the rest of your cup career we got along fine great the situation with um kurt and the the the wives and girlfriends on the pit box how how did you view that experience and what was so i you know we watching that um i don't i mean i'm that's pretty entertaining i know i would have but i would have probably said you can't do that i did but i was in the car that was on the tv yeah you're right everybody saw you what did you do that's exactly what i said i probably you if you had a tape recorder you just said it i mean and i think after the fact she felt the same way was embarrassed about it because she didn't do it for tv no you know she did it because she was pissed and their friends kind of were all friends and you're gonna and and she was like you're gonna he's gonna hurt somebody what happened on the racetrack he he just he was i think he was pissed about something i don't know what but it was the very end of the back stretch of texas and he just he just just turned me just caught my bumper i don't know if i moved up a little bit to get arc down in the corner but anyway he just you know i don't know if he's pissed at roush whatever the case might be right so it curts curt and you know that's that's what happened at the end of that that was into that yeah so um boris said oh yeah i love this one so i me and boris are friends yeah and i'm friends with boris i can't believe boris being that mad at anybody um but apparently you know whatever happened on the racetrack uh i can i mean watkins glenn produces some of the some of those moments it's watkins glenn is kind of like the madden uh uh xbox game will make some of best friends i remember each other's guts dale jarrett was mad at you that day oh yeah so so it's a funny story because him and i we had a we had a little run in earlier in the race he was a i think he was a lap down and we we had a run-in and you know i don't remember what it was but it wasn't significant you know it was it was not really at all significant we had some issue break issue something in the race so we're multiple laps down we had to pit and fix it so we're a green white checkered at uh at watkins glen now we're near the back i'm in the very back yeah i'm not even in i'm not even in the race yeah he purposely purposely hooks david reagan he's multiple laps down david reagan i think was a maybe a lap down hooks david reagan on the after turn one that was short crash hooks david reagan sends him into that wall he flips upside down yeah comes across the track slams into that wall i slow down and i'm like what was that for i mean like literally on purpose because you know we were all at the back there was they weren't even racing for position yeah you know and and i have no idea why that happened and so then i i gave him you know told him he was number one do you flip him off the rest of the way back and you know i don't know if i what else i did but i didn't wreck him or anything but the rest of the way back and all the way in the pits okay you know i told him and that's what caught that's what got him fired up yeah was i was so he came over so i pull in get out of my car and i'm i'm mad because my teammate just went head on into the world and upside down across the racetrack for no reason and so i'm just i'm shaking matt that at that a part-time driver comes in and does that to to uh a guy for who doesn't matter who it is so my team guy hands me a bottle of water right i take the cap off take a drink of it and and he pulls up boris pulls up beside my car you know in you know we pull up behind our transporters yeah his transporter he's over there we're top five and two points are top 10 points he pulls up and is flailing his arms and he's doing all this and you know uh doing all that and i sort of lost my cool and he had his window net down and his helmet off and was trying to get out of his car and i took the water bottle and it was a really good shot from about 10 feet away i threw the water ball as hard as i could and just beaned him in the side of the head oh no yeah yeah okay i was upset yeah and so and so then i went running over there to the side of the car he was still in the car and i grabbed his steering wheel and you know we were we were having some tug of war so we were having some tug of war because i was gonna beat him with that steering wheel are you serious yes yes what yeah i don't he's a big guy he's a big guy but he was still in the car yeah you're trying to keep him in there so he's taking a steering wheel so anyway we're gonna wrestle but you're staying in the car while we're doing that yeah so anyway then guys come in and break it up yeah you know and yeah he's hotter than haley he's hotter than how he finally gets out of the car he's a classic yeah and my my guy's got a hold of me and my feet are about that far off the ground and you know so it was that was that was that did
