Drivers Mark Martin and Kevin Harvick are offering different perspectives on the confrontation between Roush Fenway Racing teammates Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth following Sunday's Subway 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Martin views the incident as simply a boiling over of different personalities. Harvick, however, contends the altercation may reflect deeper divisions inside the Roush Fenway team.

Man Edwards really changed alot with that outburst. He has changed:
1. Fans perspective - nice guy image
2. Exposed Kenseth as a guy who (we have known) to not stick up for himself
3. Rifts in Rousch - probably started with late COT testing/frustration
4. He is jealous because he wasnt invited to Kenseth's wedding (lol)

Hey these boys don't have to like each other... Let them keep fighting in their camp and watch HMS run away with the Championship coz they work as a TEAM!!!

October 26, 2007  07:44 AM ET

Does anybody really give a damn 'bout what Harvick has to say?

October 26, 2007  07:46 AM ET

Oh I forgot Delana does.
And - why the hell does she wear a firesuit? Is she Kevin's backup driver?

October 26, 2007  07:52 AM ET

Funny - get the impression Ms Harvick is the BOSS....just like Mikey's wife.

October 26, 2007  08:03 AM ET

Who would I believe first, someone who was in the Roush stable for years and a even a few with these two drivers or a driver from another team who has never raced for Roush.....HHMMMMM, tough decision.

October 26, 2007  08:06 AM ET

yeah really

October 26, 2007  08:06 AM ET

She's Harvick's "trophy" BOSS

October 26, 2007  08:15 AM ET

Hey guys I'M BACCCK! The way I see it, Carl needs a hug, doesnt seem like the guy has any friends in the garage, he justs wants to be appreciated. I like the guy but the we whole situation is so interesting.

And Harvick he shouldnt even be talking Juan almost had his way with him.

Hey jackmanrob,
Regarding Edwards havings changed, I'm not so sure thats true. He's been the nice guy all along and probably is. But he also has that little voice inside him saying enough is enough. Kenseth isn't exactly the model of personality and has a habit of irritating people ocassionally. I kinda relate to Carl so I'd imagine this ain't goin away anytime soon. Besides, I'd still pay money to Kenseth get decked by someone.

October 26, 2007  08:53 AM ET

Yeah, I like the guy too. I was sort of quoting from an article. That fainted punch though - bad image.

October 26, 2007  09:39 AM ET

And, of course, the picture is wrong....again!

I still like Carl and I side with him, simply because Nascar/ COT/ rules/ more rules and the Chase are just very frustrating for all drivers....and well it should be.....how boring would racing be if everyone was polite and unemotional all the time.....we fans are passionate and want to see the same in our drivers.....as far as I am concerned the only mistake Carl made was doing that when Matt was being interviewed and the cameras were rolling......
As for wives who are the boss.....I interpret that as a good thing in most cases (depends how bossy)...the drivers want to focus on the driving, and they need a manager they can trust and the racing wife really cannot have a separate career, that would take her away from being involved in all the races, so why not make her a "manager/boss"....I think this kind of arrangement makes the homelife/racelife more efficient......I know you folks meant it sarcastically, but I see many benefits and it appears to work very well for most drivers .....plus they get to sleep with the boss without any career repercussions LOL

Yeah but, her wearing the firesuit is stupid

October 26, 2007  09:54 AM ET

Yeah but, her wearing the firesuit is stupid

October 26, 2007  10:01 AM ET

I agree on her wearing a firesuit seems really stupid.. What could their thinking be to have her in it???Maybe he doesn't want anyone else looking at her curves!!! Mna if ya got it flant it!!

October 26, 2007  10:06 AM ET

I agree the firesuit wearing is a bit too much.

October 26, 2007  10:09 AM ET

part time help boys

October 26, 2007  10:26 AM ET

Looks like Kenseth in that picture is saying. ."Heeeeheehee, I'm a big wusssy"
Who cares if there's a riff!?!?!? Edwards has everyone talking about NASCAR.. This just goes to prove that Edwards is his own man and is passionate about his racing.
What I think he'd doing is.. trying to unseat Gordon as my #1 driver.

October 26, 2007  10:47 AM ET

jackamanrob == LittleE~BigM fan ==carl is 100% right IN A SINCE
When he win's a race no one from his team say's GOOD JOB
=other drivers come and tell him so = he is bitter because of
this - BUT all in all it didn't look good.
