Harvick & Richard Childress argue during Michigan race (Article)

Kevin Harvick hasn't been "Happy Harvick," the nickname he acquired early in his Cup career, for quite a while. He hasn't won since the Daytona 500 in 2007 and he's mired way back in the points this year.

And he definitely wasn't happy on Sunday at Michigan judging by his exchanges over the radio with team owner Richard Childress. You can listen to them at this link. http://api.ning.com/files/rcHneeJyliFc3eru9ND14Y0SvvLb*OIk3syBfPNpOkzkzGwBQpeJTgZ8xvKuq1uoehHxy4453sRY0Ta1Rxf5reNnSNC-iP5Q/Mich81609_1.wav__Harvick is notorious for complaining about the car and for being sarcastic in doing so. But he was especially irritated on Sunday when he complained because he thought a slow pit stop caused him to lose positions on the track and because he was moving backwards.__"You beat the 14 (Tony Stewart) out of the pits and he's going forward," Childress told him.

"I'm tired of listening to your excuses, Richard," Harvick snapped back.

"I'll talk to you about it later," Childress replied.

Later, Harvick complains that the wheel feels like it's going to fall off.

"Kevin, drive the car," Childress tells him. "I'm getting tired. You get paid to drive it. Drive it."

Childress made it known earlier in the summer that Harvick is under contract through 2010 -- to squash rumors of Harvick's desire to leave and drive for Tony Stewart's team. I guess we'll see if they make it together that long.

Richard tells Harvick "I'm tired of your excuses, you're paid to drive, so drive!"
