Why do people keep saying Harvick got hit by Mark Martin in the 500 wreck?

Replays clearly show that Mark never touched Kevin, he spun while making an evasive maneuver to try and avoid the wreck. So why does everyone, fans, broadcasters, Kevin himself, blame Mark for hitting Harvick and triggering the 2nd part of the wreck?

Source - Kevin's post wreck interview. He said he thinks the 55 hit him from behind, the broadcasters also said that, and I've seen it posted several times by mad Harvick fans, even once on here before it got deleted, that the wreck was Mark's fault

I never heard any one blame Mark? Mark would never do that on purpose, and Kevin knows it. This is a new car, that handles completely different, than the COT. I expect the next several races, to be a little crazy. I was happy, I expected more wrecks on Sunday in the Cup race.
After Friday and Saurday, I was worried that Sunday might have been worse.

Source please?
Who is "everyone"? (YOUR word)

Happy does have a short fuse. Maybe he needs to see the tapes first?
I was bummed when Smoke was taken out so early.
Bobby LaBonte was looking good at the end, I was hoping he would do a little better.

I didn't see it, and I there's no one out there with a cleaner record than Mark.
Stewart's my main guy, but I have a half dozen 2nd favs Who I root for, when Stewarts out. And Marks one of them.

Once a wreck starts in front, everything goes crazy behind. Kevin has a better view, he's in front of Mark, Kevin hits the brakes. How is any off this Marks fault. These guys are running 200 mph, just inches apart.?

Kevin's started a few wrecks himself, so be careful there.

Mark is the guy has being for the reason that Harvick became in dippers..... Kevin Harvick is so fortunate he gained the 5 hundred. 2 hundredths of a 2d grrr that p1ssed me off and he would have would have positioned Matt in a wall in a 2d even tho Matt is the only reason he gained the 5 hundred woo hoo for that flat tire prefer mark became raceing the full season

I agree! I am a big Kevin Harvick fan and I chalked it up to he got caught up in somebody elses deal!

I did hear Kevin say that MM did hit him, but on the replays it doesn't show that. Not sure who the others are that you are talking about.

Happy is not happy.

It going to be a sad day when he joins S/H Racing.
