Kevin Harvick and Chase Elliott not happy with eachother post race. Chase had a tire cut down after some hard racing with Harvick. Then Elliott basically spent the rest of the race blocking Harvick until Larson passed Harvick for the lead. Kinda lame Harvick didn't take his helmet off for the confrontation.
