WOULD IT BE GOOD TO PACK YOUR PLAID JACKET FOR LETTERMAN TONIGHT AND WHAT AS A GREAT THRILL MEETING COLE TRICKLE OR RACING AGAINST DICK TRICKLE?
MATT KENSETH: "First of all, the plaid jacket, I wouldn't want to give him the satisfaction of wearing it. I brought it up last night and that was enough. Racing against Dick Trickle, for sure. It's cool when celebrities come to the races and stuff and you get to say hi to them and meet them. It was cool that Tom Cruise was there yesterday and that's pretty cool because everybody has seen him in movies and seeing Gene Hackman walk by was actually probably as cool or cooler for me, but Dick Trickle is a Wisconsin short track legend and he's obviously done some good stuff down here, too. Just as a driver and what he could do on the race track and how he worked on his cars and did that stuff, a lot of short track racers looked up to him. He was mostly gone in racing stuff down here by the time I started racing, but he'd come back occasionally and run some short track stuff and the stories just never go away. The Dick Trickle stories never die. You hear them up there all the time when you go up there short track racing still, so that's pretty cool."
