TROUBLE FINDS KENSETH AND CREW FOR THIRD STRAIGHT RACE

Mid-Race Accident Sends Team 17 to Garage; Ruins Chances for Solid Finish

For the third consecutive race, Matt Kenseth and the No. 17 DEWALT NANO Ford team suffered misfortune on the race track that resulted in a trip to the garage, a less than stellar finish and a loss of valuable points in overall standings. To say the least, this weekend’s events at Richmond International Raceway were anything but kind. After struggling to find speed during Friday’s practice session and qualifying a disappointing 24th for the Crown Royal presents, the Dan Lowry 400, Kenseth and crew were hoping that things would turn around for them during the 400-lap Saturday night race. However, that would not be the case. Kenseth struggled to find “grip” for the first half of the race and was relegated to running mid-pack. On lap 230, the No. 17 was caught up in a multi-car melee that resulted in severe damage and a trip to the garage. After team 17 spent several laps working to repair the DEWALT NANO Ford, Kenseth returned to the track in 41st position 62 laps down to the leaders. Though Kenseth would gain a few track positions, 38th place is where he ultimately finished.
