Comments from Kenseth about Bristol incident:

#17-Matt Kenseth met the media shortly after 1 p.m. on Friday. Afterwards, he met with Tony Stewart to discuss the much-discussed incident at Bristol Motor Speedway last weekend that resulted in Stewart hurling his helmet at Kenseth’s #17 Ford. ‘Honestly, last week I was really surprised,’ Kenseth said. ‘I wasn ‘t trying to put our cars in a bad situation. I thought we were going to make it through there and I thought it was going to be alright, so I ‘m not sure what all went down there. But Tony and I, 99% of the time at least, show each other probably more respect and more room on the track than probably most people have. There have been a couple instances here and there, but I think, overall, we try to show each other a lot of respect and we usually get that back.’(RacinToday)(9-1-2012)
