NASCAR WCUP: NAPA Autocare 500 Post Race Quotes, Kenny Irwin

4 October 1999

Motorsports Editor, The Auto Channel
KENNY IRWIN --28-- Texaco Havoline Taurus (Finished 39th) -- "I just drove him like he drove me. It's pretty evident, you just watch the TV I think, on what exactly happened and I just treated him exactly like he treated me."

TONY SAID THE FIRST TIME WAS AN ACCIDENT. "OK then what happened the second time? I mean, then we'll call turn one and two and accident too. I just drove him exactly the way he drove me."

DID YOU HEAR HIS SPOTTER APOLOGIZE TO YOU AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT? "No, but the thing is I would have given Tony the first one because, I mean, me and him have raced together for a long time but I wasn't gonna give him two of them."

IS THIS THE FIRST TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU TWO GUYS? "No. It's happened before and, I mean, me and Tony have raced together for a long time, so we'll just see what happens."

WHAT DID HE SAY WHEN HE STUCK HIS HEAD INSIDE THE CAR? "Nothing that I can say right now."
