7 reasons to watch the LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway: No. 3 - Matt Kenseth

Matt Kenseth has led 300 laps in eight appearances at Chicagoland Speedway. That’s more than every other active driver save one – Tony Stewart (395).

Yet while Stewart has been to victory lane twice there, as have others with fewer laps led, Kenseth’s best efforts have been a pair of runnerup finishes in 2005 and again in ’07.

Twice a winner earlier this season, Kenseth needs another strong run to solidify his position in the point standings, where the Roush Fenway Racing driver is currently 10th.

Given his strong showings at Chicago in the past, he’ll likely be a contender once again. With a bit of luck, he might even find victory lane.
