When I said 5-10 seconds, I meant there was 5-10 seconds after I pulled over before the on coming car passed me.

In that entire interaction, I had time to speed up, they had time to speed up, I speed up some more, they speed up more. Then I presume we both saw the on coming car, realized we were getting nowhere and did the same action hoping for opposite results. They gave up to let me ahead, and I gave up to get back behind them.

Then I really gave up and pulled to the shoulder, than it was another little bit for the oncoming car to pass. And of course, the memory of timing could be completely off, but I was fully stopped when the car passed me and my pants stayed clean.

They were upset you tried to pass them as it implied they were an unsafe driver. So to prove they are an unsafe driver to be near they decided to try to dish out retribution and cause you to get into a crash which you did not.
Pretty simple actually.
