Busch not happy with Kenseth:

#97-Kurt Busch wasn’t happy with his teammate, #17-Matt Kenseth, early in Sunday’s race because he wouldn’t let him lead a single lap – and gain five bonus points in the championship race. Kenseth said there are no company orders to help teammates, especially when that teammate is a competitor in the playoffs. “When you get in the Chase you’ve got to get all the points you can,” Kenseth said. “You can’t give points away. I’m sure (Busch) is mad at me.” Jack Roush said he doesn’t want his drivers to play favorites. “I don’t expect them to do that,” he said. “In fact, I’d be disappointed if they did that.”(Augusta Chronicle)(10-10-2005)
