Matt Kenseth Tire problems while qualifiying (35)
Chase Elliott Serious altercation with Kasey Kahne, fines levied to both (2)
***OOC NOTE: This is too freaking weird - last race, these two were involved in a RARE event that had their pit crews get into a fight
I don't know what the odds are exactly of this event being rolled - but for these two drivers to be positioned in their pools to make this
happen would be "freaky weird"...There was exactly one position out of 54 for Kahne to be in...
