Kenseth's comments on his and Edwards altercation
I'm sure by now everyone heard about the little altercation between Kenseth and Edwards after last weeks race.
Edwards apologized on Tuesday for the incident, saying he shouldn't have shown his anger towards Kenseth, but that trouble had been brewing between them for a while.
Yesterday, Kenseth made a statement about the whole thing -
His behavior has been real erratic lately, honestly. You don't know what to expect with him. That's the thing that's a little bit troublesome. One minute, he has so much respect for you, and he's real friendly and everythings so much fun. The next minute he wants to kick your butt and he's swearing at you. It's a little scary. You never know what you're going to get. I thought it was good in a way that the cameras were there because a lot of us see that, and nobody else does because he kind of puts on a different front.
Most of what the fans see is a happy-go-lucky guy, he always smiles in his interview and of course he has his trademark backflip when he wins.
If we are to believe Kenseth, there seems to be two sides of Edwards, kind of like Jekyll and Hyde. Whatever problems exist over there, Roush obviously needs to step in and help them work it out, I know that he usually lets everyone work things out themselves, but it just doesn't seem like these two getting along and won't any time soon.
Your thoughts?

Matt seems like a pretty good guy, always seems to be pretty honest about what goes on. I have thought
many times Carl seems like he is just
saying what people want to hear, and is a little bit of a bully, putting
it mildly. By the way I am a jr fan!
Go Jr. I was hopin Jr. would kick his
butt last year in Michigan!

It seems to me that none of Carl's teammates like him, not that there's anything wrong with that. Sometimes there are people you just don't like for your own reasons. What troubles me - even though Carl has sort of apologized - is that his words don't indicate that he thinks Sunday's altercation was anything but totally his fault.
The fact that his attack was captured on tape is extraordinary and bizarre. It showed a Carl Edwards who is nothing like the aw shucks persona he has cultivated.
When you combine that with the fact that none of the INC panel members defended Carl it just gets stranger. I don't ever remember drivers being so candid about another driver's split personality.
Jack Roush has a problem and that problem is Carl Edwards. It's not as simple as a "getting along" situation.
