How I discovered Rowdy, and why I Listen:
Big fan of the podcast since the early days. Missed it dearly when it went fee based, came back as soon as it went free again.
Why I'm a race fan:
I became a convert after working with Matt Kenseth via Smirnoff Ice in 2003. I haven't stopped following the sport since.
Favorite TV Shows:
The Wire, Entourage, 24, Lost, Hero's, Simpsons, Californiacation, Flight of the Concords,
Last season Matt and Carl got into that shoving match and it was obvious tension existed in Rousch. Now that Carl has won the last 2, I haven't read anything about Matt congratulating Carl and making nice. The post race coverage showed Bif's team high-5ing Carl's crew but nothing on the Dewalt team. Interesting...
Actually I heard Carl in an interview after California say that Matt was one of the first people to call and congratulate him after the race. Matt also came on Carl's scanner during the Vegas race and apologized for something, (sorry but I missed just exactly what) and everything seemed good between them. I think that they have moved on ... I just wish that the media and fans could also. I can't hardly stand to read the forum's at Matt's website or Carl's for that matter. It's really hard to be a fan of both drivers, which I am. We Roush fans need to go back to "bashing" the other guys again!
Becky's got a good point. I like both Matt and Carl... though Matt's my favorite of the two. I hope they've worked things out and moved on... and it sounds like maybe they have.
