Kenseth and Edwards altercation

Racefan had asked in yesterday's blog entry about the altercation between Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards. I never saw this altercation.

I contacted Adrian Parker from Roush Fenway who said: "At this point, we don't have anything to add to what you see on the video." Here's the video:

Parker also said, "Carl Edwards will be on NASCAR's National Teleconference today at 2:00 PM Eastern."

So there you have it. That's all I know.

Oh my goodness people, it's not like Carl hit Matt!

People, get use to Matt playing dirty when he's not doing well because that's what he did back when he raced locally in Wisconsin. He use to cause a wreck,(with a teammate/same sponsor) just to win.

Carl could've done this without cameras, but hey-what would all of you Cry baby Matt fans be crying about if it didn't happen.

I don't quite understand what on earth you're talking about. No one is "crying" here. Wow. Get a grip.

I'd just like to know what happened. The guys from Speed know what was being said, but no one's talking. Kind of weird.

Wow! Horseboy Edwards usually has a good hold of his temper. He must have been having a BAD day (ha). Poor Mattie, he was just trying to do an interview. It did look like Edwards was just goofing off, but then maybe Kenseth said a little sumpthin...

Good god. That first comment makes us whinning Stewies look pretty decent. Looks like someone new found your blog, Jennifer.

Okay, here's the scoop:

Sunday at Martinsville, Edwards dove into a corner on a restart only to find traffic stacked up by a slowing Reed Sorenson. He banged into Kenseth, who returned the favor later with a bump that cost the No. 99 car a few positions on the track. The contact angered Edwards, already miffed that an electrical issue had forced him to turn off his cockpit fan. Walking out of the racetrack, he saw Kenseth standing by the pit wall waiting to be interviewed, and vented.

Hit him or not,acting or not. Crazy Carl picking on little Matty Kenseth aint exactly manly. Even ask Betty from a couple entrys ago. She would be able to tell.

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
