texastrophies Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Is Kenseth becoming a new Robby Gordon???? Kenseth apologizes for spinning out McMurray No. 42 Dodge slams wall after 'pretty deliberate' whack on Lap 27 By Marty Smith, NASCAR.COM July 17, 2005 08:57 PM EDT (00:57 GMT) LOUDON, N.H. -- Jamie McMurray on Sunday questioned whether contact with Matt Kenseth on Lap 27 of the New England 300 was intentional on Kenseth's part. "I just basically ran him over," Kenseth said. "It was all my fault." Kenseth's honesty is appreciated but offers little solace for McMurray, who as a result of the incident dropped from eighth to 11th in the point standings. "I pretty much got taken out," McMurray said. "I had him cleared on both deals. When you wreck somebody right there, there's really no excuse for it." The accident began when, according to Kenseth, McMurray ran over the front fender of the No. 17 Ford. Frustrated, Kenseth refused to give McMurray ample room to safely make the pass. The two made contact, sending McMurray's Dodge hard into the Turn 3 wall on the driver's side. The left side of McMurray's car was destroyed, and while he escaped uninjured he did admit the accident was painful. "Matt must have been mad about something earlier in the year. I'm not sure," McMurray said. "He raced me really hard and I finally got up underneath him, and had him cleared and slid up. But where he wrecked me, it was pretty deliberate. I couldn't even save it. It's unfortunate. "It's 30 laps into the race. Usually you let guys go, then. He raced me really hard. My car was quite a bit better. I was just trying to be careful so I didn't get loose up underneath him and wreck him. But as it turned out, maybe I should have." In retrospect, Kenseth was remorseful. He went on to finish 10th in the New England 300. "I was racing him hard and I was giving him a lot of room," Kenseth said. "He ran over my left front off the corner and we were real close getting into Turn 3. I was just too close to him. I knew I was too close. "I was a little mad he ran over my fender there so I was staying close to him. Just my fault. I misjudged it and just plain ran him over. I feel bad about that. "You never want to wreck anybody, and never want to see anybody hit the wall with the chance of getting hurt. I feel really bad about that and it was 100 percent my fault." McMurray's bid for the Chase for the Nextel Cup took a considerable hit. He lost three positions in the standings, and lost 81 points to leader Jimmie Johnson. McMurray entered the event 358 points out of first and ventures home 439 points behind. "I just kind of got dumped," McMurray said. "It was pretty deliberate."

[/ QUOTE ] Guess you didn't read the part about Matt admiting it was his fault?????? Besides...if Matt was faster, wouldn't the accident happened the other way around????? How would the #42 car slide up into the #17's front fender if the #17 was faster????? Take the blinders off boy...watch the entire race, not what you want to watch!

Get your head out of the sand dude! That comment about the 24 isn't gonna fly here either. You really need to grow up a little bit, and stop acting like a little kid.

I'll be the first to admitt the #24 isn't fairing very well as of late, but remember he still has 4 CHAMPIONSHIPS and countless RECORDS that the #17 will never see in his lifetime of racing....

Chrud Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Re: Kenseth dumps McMurray Get his head out of something maybe. Where is RTF? I'm waiting for him to drop his favorite "quote" on this clown. Yeah, Kenseth is on a roll. He's the best thing in NASCAR right now. Can't wait till he breaks his 50+ race winless streak.

Ill say it, Deerslayer06, you deserve no respect on these forums because of the way you act, and for as long as you are on these forums, you will never get any respect from me. Thats unless you change, but i doubt you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
