Nascar News: Jeff Gordon Vs. Matt Kenseth

Recently, The race at Bristol raceway was held. The race went somewhat smoothly. Then It was about the last lap, this would decide the winners of the race, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth were all up front, as well as some others. Anyways, Jeff Gordon was fourth, while Matt Kenseth was very close behind him. Gordon and Kenseth had make some contact during the other parts of the race but not much, they finally were very close. Matt Kenseth got closer to Gordon and then he ended up bumping him and Jeff Gordon swirled some and got behind in the race. He went from fourth to twenty-first. Luckily, nor Matt or Jeff won the race, Kurt Busch won. I remember watching this race very intently, then I watched as they showed Jeff, as soon as he got out of the his car he went over to Matt and pushed him. How nice. Then the Security, or Driver Team people came over and seperated them. Later on they showed them both talking. Kenseth claimed that the whole thing was an accident, and that he would have just have beenmad If it happened to him. Gordon, cooled down, didnt seem to say much, but I know he wasnt the happiest camper. Do you think this will damage their friendship?
