Saturday night's Coke Zero 400 at the Daytona International Speedway proved that in the draft, your teammate might not always be your best friend. Unlike this year's Penske Push during the final laps of the Daytona 500, Saturday night's race showcased just the opposite.

In the closing laps, it was Matt Kenseth's push - and a race ending yellow flag - that gave Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch his sixth win of the season, but either way that push came at the cost of Kenseth's Roush Racing teammate Carl Edwards.

Racing down the backstretch towards the white flag, Edwards got a huge run on the No. 18. As he drove to the outside, Kenseth initially went with his Roush Fenway Racing teammate, but as they headed to Turn 3 Kenseth turned the No. 17 Ford Fusion back to the bottom and behind Kyle Busch.

"I've really got to thank the 17 (Matt Kenseth)," Busch explained in victory lane. "He was with the 99 (Carl Edwards) there. The 99 (Carl Edwards) got tore out sliding down the back straightaway and the 17 (Matt Kenseth) ducked in behind us and the 2 (Kurt Edwards) got with the 99 (Carl Edwards). (Matt) Kenseth gave me a great push and we were able to be ahead when it mattered.

"Sometimes it doesn't quite workout with teammates. I know that from here in the past," Busch went on to say. "The Hendrick boys really worked together real well tonight and I've got to thank Denny (Hamlin). He was trying to help me there when we got squirrely there in the back and luckily I saved it and man, I don't know what I did to do that but that was close."

For Kenseth, it was all a matter of poor timing and saving his car. "Down the back I was trying to push Carl because we had such a good restart, and Kurt was behind me pushing me like crazy," Kenseth said, "but [Edwards] was trying to look different directions on Kyle and Kyle was blocking like crazy. He was so all over the straightaway I was fearing hitting him and spinning out. And Kyle went up to block him and I got sideways and I was going to wreck and had to get off the gas."

When Kenseth got off the gas he dove to the inside, leaving teammate Edwards out to dry just long enough to allow the No. 18 to pull away. "If Kyle could have got straight and we could have got a farther back run on Kyle, I think we both could have went by him and maybe raced for the win," Kenseth added, "but we just couldn't quite get that figured out exactly right."

We have seen other teams in the past have the same issues. Earlier this year at Talladega, Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. had a similar incident, only theirs drew more public attention. The two drivers differed in opinion on the matter and eventually got it worked out.

Last year's July race at Daytona saw Joe Gibbs Racing's Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin take each other out while leading the field. The two were clearly upset with one another and it took a team meeting with the coach himself, Joe Gibbs, to solve the problem.

Even Richard Childress Racing's Jeff Burton and Clint Bowyer were upset with how they worked together in the draft in Daytona this year.

Communicating with teammates about split-second decisions while driving inches apart at speeds approaching 200 mph is never an easy thing to do. Sometimes it works out perfectly as it did in February, but other times - much like Saturday night - a driver must go with what is best for him, regardless of who he is pushing to the front.
