KYLE PETTY (No. 45 Wells Fargo Dodge Avenger)
ON THE ACCIDENT We were a little bit loose. I guess its my fault. I watched the Busch race yesterday and I knew Denny (Hamlin) was sick, I just didnt know he was hallucinating and needed three lanes to get up off the corner because he ran all over us. I guess he is in a race by himself.

ON HIS WORDS WITH HAMLIN I just told him he is in the Chase and Im not. Thats how simple it is. Its a shame that a guy with that much talent has to drive like that. Weve seen it a lot. Weve seen it all year long. Even his teammate Tony Stewart talked about it. I think it pretty much speaks for itself.

DENNY HAMLIN (No. 11 FedEx Chevrolet Impala SS)
WHAT DID YOU SAY TO KYLE PETTY AND WHAT DID HE SAY TO YOU AT YOUR CAR WINDOW? He just said it wasnt racing. And absolutely it wasnt racing. I wasnt racing him. There was no reason. Lets look back at my career. Ive never wrecked anyone my entire career has anybody spun off my front bumper. Its not like Im a guy who runs into everybody. Youve just got to use your brain. Youve got to calm down. This is not over for us. A lot of guys had trouble today and were going to bounce back from this. This is just one step of this 10-week chase.

WERE YOU SURPRISED AT PETTYS REACTION? Yeah, I think a lot of it was his frustration over this whole top 35 thing, but were racing for bigger and better things. Hopefully, one day, if they get it turned around, I can exchange the favor. But right now, were the guys racing for the championship, so you know, heed a little bit.

WHAT SET YOU OFF TO HAVE YOU JUMP OUT OF YOUR CAR LIKE THAT WHEN YOU WERE WAITING FOR THE CREW TO FIX THE CAR? Dont smack me on the helmet. You smack me on the helmet and Im going to punch you in the face, bottom line. So Id like for him (Kyle Petty) to call me sometime this week, before next week.

IS THERE AN UNWRITTEN RULE ABOUT TAKING YOUR WINDOW NET DOWN OR COMING TO YOUR CAR? You dont come to my car; you dont come to my pit. You meet me somewhere else and well settle it. I have the utmost respect for Kyle, but dont lay your hands on my head.

WHY DID HE DO THAT? DID YOU SAY SOMETHING BACK TO HIM? I did not say one word to him. I asked him to come over and talk to me. He chose to slap my helmet. I have a short fuse. Dont do that. I didnt say one word to him (Petty) in the garage. All I just said wad Come here and let me talk to you about it. He chose to slap my helmet, you know, in hindsight, I should have grabbed his throat.
