Ty Dillon<\/strong> has advanced to the third round of NASCAR\u2019s In-Season Challenge bracket, but Kevin Harvick <\/strong>had an issue with his trash-talking. On Kevin Harvick\u2019s Happy Hour<\/a>, Harvick reacted to Dillon\u2019s staying alive in the bracket despite being the No. 32 seed.<\/p>\n \u201cThe bracket, there\u2019s a little bit of luck involved in, no matter what racetracks we go to, but starting at Atlanta just turned it all upside down,\u201d Kevin Harvick said. \u201cI mean, Ty Dillon is still in it.\u201d<\/p>\n Harvick also reacted to Dillon talking trash to his second-round opponent,Brad Keselowski<\/strong>. After the race, Dillon said, \u201cI knew in a basketball city (Chicago), going up against Brad in a game of knockout, I was going to have a good chance.<\/p>\n \u201cI just don\u2019t know how you talk that much trash when you run that bad, though,\u201d Harvick stated. I would just be more humble about it. I mean, if you were up there running first or second, third, fifth, something, and you\u2019re knocking people out of the bracket, but you\u2019re knocking the guys out that are crashing. Let\u2019s not be cocky about it.\u201d<\/p>\n Kevin Harvick had no issue with Ty Dillon trolling Denny Hamlin<\/p>\n The second round of the In-Season Challenge took place at the Chicago Street Race this past weekend. Dillon finished 20th in the race while Keselowski finished 37th after being involved in an accident. Dillon will now face No. 8-seedAlex Bowman<\/strong> in the quarterfinals, which will take place at Sonoma on Sunday.<\/p>\n This is not the first time Dillon has garnered attention for trash-talking during the tournament. At EchoPark Speedway in Atlanta, Dillon defeated No. 1 seed Denny Hamlin<\/strong> in the first round. And after that race, Dillon said, \u201cAll you Denny fans out there: I just knocked your favorite driver out.\u201d<\/p>\n When that happened, Harvick said he didn\u2019t have a problem with Dillon trolling Hamlin.<\/a> \u201cTy Dillon has run pretty respectable this year. It\u2019s not like he\u2019s just floundering around, like he has in the past several years. He\u2019s legitimately run well this year,\u201d Harvick explained<\/a>. \u201cI think, when you look at this bracket thing, it\u2019s intriguing, it\u2019s fun. This is fun.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Kevin Harvick calls out Ty Dillon for NASCAR Bracket Challenge trash talk: \u2018Let\u2019s not be cocky about it\u2019<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jul 5, 2025; Chicago, Illinois, USA; NASCAR Cup Series driver Ty Dillon (10) during qualifying for the Grant…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":52120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[1406,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-52119","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-nascar","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114824814523314592","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
