Keselowski's actions in Charlotte NASCAR race 'inexcusable'

Keselowski had incidents with both Hamlin and Kenseth in the closing laps of the race, with the contact spilling over onto the slowing-down lap.

Hamlin and Keselowski then quarrelled in the paddock, before Kenseth chased and accosted Keselowski in a separate scuffle.

Kenseth said the fact that Keselowski drove into him in the pitlane after he had unfastened his belts was what enraged him most.

"I had my HANS off, my seatbelts off, and he clobbers me at like 50mph. The race is over, we've come back to pit road," he said.

"If he wants to come and talk to me about it like a man, let's do that, but to try to wreck somebody on the racetrack and then come down pitroad with other cars, people standing around and people with their seatbelts off, and drive into the side of me, is just inexcusable.

"He's a champion, he's supposed to know better than that."

HAMLIN: KESELOWSKI OUT OF CONTROL

NASCAR will consider in the coming days whether to issue any penalties, but Hamlin believes Keselowski should definitely be sanctioned.

"I brake-checked him going down the backstretch. And then he tried to spin me out," Hamlin said of their slowing-down lap clash.

"Then we got to pitlane and he just ploughed into the #14 [Tony Stewart] and the #20 [Kenseth].

"Then he ran at us again coming off pitroad. He went through the garage doing burnouts, and he knocked somebody's transmission clear through somebody else's pit stall. He was just out of control.

"NASCAR said no tolerance for stuff like that and you've got to just be a little bit more mature."

KESELOWSKI: THEY CAN DISH IT OUT BUT CAN'T TAKE IT

Keselowski argued that Hamlin and Kenseth had been the aggressors.

"The #20 car [Kenseth] got in the back of me on one of the restarts, just a racing deal. I wasn't mad at him," he said.

"But when the last yellow came out, he got the wave-around and came by and swung at my car and tore the whole right front [bodywork] off it.

"For some reason after the race the #11 [Hamlin] stopped in front of me and tried to pick a fight, and I don't know what that was all about.

"He swung at my car, so I figured if we're going to play car wars under yellow and after the race, I'll join in too.

"Those guys can dish it out but they can't take it. So I gave it back to them and now they want to fight. I don't know what's up with that."
