Roush Fenway Racing's Matt Kenseth slips to eighth in closing laps at Daytona
By SceneDaily Staff
Sunday, July 05, 2009
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Matt Kenseth’s evaluation of the final few laps of Saturday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Daytona?
“A lot happened,” he said.
Kenseth finished eighth in the Coke Zero 400, somewhat of a frustrating result given he lined up fifth on the final restart and had Roush Fenway Racing teammate Carl Edwards behind him.
This season’s Daytona 500 champion clearly hoped for a better result.
“I don’t know what all went down behind me,” he said after the race. “We were all single file, and Carl was pushing me.”
The cars Kenseth and Edwards were racing with suddenly went high, and Kenseth said someone moved Edwards up the track behind him.
Suddenly, he said, “I lost my push from both sides.”
“They lined up and got a run on me and I lost my push, and then Carl went by me like you’ve got to do at the end of the race.”
It didn’t hurt Kenseth in the points, however, as he remained 10th in the standings with a 100-point margin between himself and 13th-place Mark Martin in the battle to see who makes the Chase For The Sprint Cup.

Jul 5, 2009 at 8:54 PMI think Matt was still running 5th when Busch crashed. He would have had a top 5 but, to me, it looked like Matt slowed down to avoid the 18 and 3 cars got by him. Actually, when the raced finished last night he was listed in 9th. I guess after reviewing the tape they gave 8th to Matt over Montoya.
Report as AbuseBut an 8th is better than 35 other guys finished!
