"Has Matt installed a HANS device in the #17 yet?"
Since the earlier part of the year Matt Kenseth has been working with the HANS (Head And Neck Support) device and has been wearing it the past few races. Much controversy surrounded the ability of a driver to escape a burning car while using such a device, however, if you remember the recent race in Atlanta, the Cracker Barrel Old Country Store 500, when Matt hit the wall and the #17 DEWALT caught fire, you'll recall him being able to escape without being hindered by the safety device.
