Richard Petty, Rick Hendrick differ on Matt Kenseth's two-race suspension for wrecking Joey Logano

— -- AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Matt Kenseth's suspension for two races for pile-driving Joey Logano into the wall Nov. 1 at Martinsville Speedway is still a hot topic of debate in the Sprint Cup garage.

Richard Petty is about as old-school as they come but thought the suspension was warranted. Rick Hendrick has more than 30 years in the sport and didn't want to see Kenseth parked.

"As deliberate as that was, it needed to be done," Petty, a seven-time Cup champion, said Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway. "In fact, I think he got out lucky with two races instead of three."
