News and Notes
Nov 4
This week: Kenseth has one win, six top-five finishes and nine top-10s in 14 starts at Texas and will be seeking his sixth straight top-10 finish there. Kenseth has led 497 laps at Texas, more than any other Cup driver. He also has two Nationwide victories at the 1.5-mile track.
Last week: Kenseth was running second when the race was red-flagged with four laps to go after Ryan Newman got airborne and landed on his roof. With the race extended three laps, Kenseth was forced to pit for fuel to end any hopes he had of challenging for the win. "We had a good car and were in position there at the end," said Kenseth. "We just ran out of gas and unfortunately didn't get the finish we wanted or deserved." He ended up 24th.
Etc.: Kenseth said the unique thing about Texas is that the "track is pretty high-banked in the corners, but it is very flat on the corner exits. The most unique part is trying to get off the corners, especially turn 2. You have to have a car that can go through the middle of the corner and the bumps very fast."
