Up to now, Matt Kenseth and Brad Keselowski are still not in terms with regards to what transpired over the Charlotte race.
For Kenseth, Keselowski intentionally drove him into the wall following a restart with 63 laps remaining last Saturday. This caused Kenseth to drop from the top five slot down to a 19th place finish. Because of that he swerved intentionally into Keselowski under caution with six laps remaining.
According to Kenseth "Brad clearly saw me roll outside of him. 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."
He adds "If you watch video you can see he had no marks on his right front of his car after that. He said it tore his whole right front off. I did indeed swerve at him when I took the wave around because I was mad he put me in the wall and totally ruined my day, but if you look at his car there is absolutely no damage on it. That was just him greatly exaggerating the story."
But Keselowski has a different version of the story "He is always entitled to his opinion, as I am to mine. Obviously, we have a difference of them or what happened Saturday wouldn't have happened."
But the ruckus didn't just end in the race ground as it went on to the garage. Keselowski was walking down the alley at the garage when Kenseth came over to him from his back. Both members of their team had to tackle both racers to disperse the commotion.
Because of the incident, NASCAR fined Keselowski $50,000 and Stewart $25,000 for intentional contact on pit road Tuesday. Kenseth was not sanctioned.
Kenseth said "Pulling 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."
He adds "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, but I guess everybody has their breaking point."
"I am not really ready to get into that side of it. I haven't put a lot of thought into it to be honest. I am not going to say I haven't spent any time on it, but I didn't spend enough to really have all my thoughts and feelings put together enough to share it with [the media.]"
