MATT KENSETH, No. 20 Dollar General Toyota Camry, Joe Gibbs Racing - How was the track today? "I think the track was fine. We were just kind of off most of the day, so I thought it was in good shape. It seemed like they tried to put rubber down on the corners or did something -- it looked kind of different -- but I thought everything with the track was fine. It was in good shape."

These boys loved working on cars but, as my father can attest, my mechanical ability isn’t worth spit. A lot of good ole boys love to hunt, but I do not. I doubt I would have ever had a chance to hang with these guys even if I lived just down the road from them.

Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson seem unstoppable at the moment but no matter how fast they are and how dominate they can...

Kyle Busch has started the Chase off strong with three top fives in the first three events. However, this weekend, he heads to one of his worst tracks on the current schedule – Kansas Speedway.
