MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Roush Fenway Racing teammates Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth continued their recent run of dustups with one another following Sunday’s event at Martinsville Speedway.
The two were captured in a video, which aired on Speed Channel and is also available on YouTube.com, in a shouting match that ended with Edwards appearing to take a swing at the 2003 Nextel Cup Series champion but pulling away at the last second, leaving Kenseth with a bewildered expression.
The incident took place near the turn-four access tunnel at the .526-mile short track.
The two were involved in an accident during the Busch Series race at Kansas Speedway several weeks ago, with Edwards applauding his teammate as he drove past following the accident and publicly criticizing him.

• Team-owner Bill Davis admitted to reporters Saturday that he is willing to listen to offers for his race team. It’s the latest in a trend of smaller teams getting swallowed up by bigger teams in a merger, or owners selling off part of the team.

• Dale Earnhardt, Inc. and director of competition Steve Hmiel have parted company. Hmiel’s responsibilities have been redistributed throughout the organization, and his replacement will be named soon.
“I have enjoyed a wonderful association with Dale Earnhardt, Inc. over the past nine years,” Hmiel said. “It is time for me to pursue other endeavors and re-establish new goals for myself. The management team at Dale Earnhardt, Inc. has the company headed in the right direction and it has an exciting future as it continues to fulfill the legacy of Dale Earnhardt.”
Martin Truex, Jr. will be back as a driver at DEI next year and has seen plenty of change on the team in 2007.
“Steve is a great guy, did a lot for the company and has been there for a long time,” Truex said. “He’s a guy I have a lot of respect for. I’ll figure out what they are trying to do and where they are coming from, but they are trying to make the company as strong as possible.
“I believe they will do the right thing to make us competitive over the years.”

• Bobby Labonte gets the “Say What?” award for the following comment after the race:
“We’re getting better,” he said after a 22nd-place finish. “Our guys are doing a good job. We just have to keep hammering away. We keep running well, but our finishes aren’t vindictive of what we’ve been running.”
 
• Kyle Petty made his 810th-career start, which moved him into fifth place on the all-time list.
“It’s pretty cool to think you’ve run 800 some races and my father (Richard Petty) has run over 1,000,” Petty said. “I look at guys like Ricky (Rudd) and I stand in awe. You look at the races he has run and the wrecks he has been in. I’m humbled to be mentioned in the same breath as those guys. When we started, that’s how it was; drivers expected to run into their late 40s. It means I’ve been here a long time.”
 
• Bill Elliott has raced a lot of races in his career, but after finishing 34th at Martinsville, he admitted to being worn out.
“I’ve never raced so hard to get nowhere in all my life,” Elliott said.

• Greg Biffle may have been the happiest seventh-place finisher in recent Nextel Cup history.
“That was a win. I won! That’s the first time I’ve finished a race at Martinsville in my life — my life,” Biffle shouted. “It’s unbelievable. The thing about it is those guys gave me a car good enough to win and I finished seventh. I mean, that car could have won that race. I’ve never had a car like that here.”
 
• Ricky Rudd must have felt like the one-armed man from “The Fugitive” after finishing 27th at Martinsville in a race where he crashed into the backstretch wall.
“I’m sore,” he said. “I’m hurting pretty good right now. My right one (arm) is hurting about as much as my left one because my left one quit working so I had to use my right one a lot.  I don’t know. It’s not too good, but it could be worse.”
