Matt Kenseth is not apologetic when chased and grabbed Brad Keselowski after Saturday's race at Charlotte.
Keselowski hit Kenseth on pit road as the two were driving back to the garage. The two had a run-in on a restart earlier in the race when Keselowski moved in front of Kenseth and Kenseth hit the wall. Then, Keselowski said, Kenseth hit him as he drove by under a later caution flag.
He said "None of it - you never want to get into confrontations, at least I don't. I like to avoid them. I'm definitely not built for fighting and it's not really in my genes - not something I ever really want to do, but I guess everybody has their breaking point. Last week was bad enough to run bad all night and to be frustrated and then get two tires and get towards the front and Brad (Keselowski) clearly saw me roll outside of him and he hung a right on purpose and ran me right into the wall and ruined my night and possibly took us out of Chase contention. So, I was mad enough about that and then to come down afterwards and have your stuff off and your net down and come and pull those high school stunts playing car wars after the race was just absolutely unacceptable. That definitely put me over the edge. I don't regret my actions. I'm not proud of them or happy about them or any of that, but I don't regret them. I don't know that I would do anything different if the same thing went down again."
When Keselowski was asked if he also regret with regards to his role with the incident involving Kenseth and Denny Hamlin, he answered "I'm not really ready to get into that side of it. I haven't put a lot of thought into it to be honest. I've been busy testing Martinsville and getting ready for Talladega."
"This is a huge weekend for me and our team where we really have to pull out a clutch moment. I don't want to lose sight of that by spending a whole bunch of time on all that other garbage."
