SPARTA, Ky. -- Matt Kenseth's announcement that he doesn't expect to return to Joe Gibbs Racing next season set off the 2017 silly season domino chain.
Kenseth will be trying for a repeat of his 2013 triumph this weekend. With Joey Logano only three points behind him in points, a win is essential. He has the series third-best driver rating (107.9), three top fives and six top 10s. But did you know that with his win in 2013, Kenseth became the oldest Kentucky winner (06/30/2013 – 41 years, 3 months, 20 days)? Another trip to Victory Lane would be icing on the cake.
