Kenseth in the hunt for a title

Posted:

Nascar's Sprint Cup Series moves to Martinsville for the 4th to last race of the year. Cambridge's Matt Kenseth is in great position in the points standings, but this is a track where he hasn't been great.

Kenseth currently sits in 2nd place, 14 points behind leader and teammate Carl Edwards. This might not be the right track for him to make up ground. In 23 starts at Martinsville, he has just two career top five finishes.

Kenseth on racing at Martinsville Speedway:

"Probably the most challenging part for me at Martinsville is being calm, thinking through things, and not doing something because you are mad. I don't like getting run into and I don't like running into other people and it's bound to happen there since it's such a small track. There is no room to move and there is not an outside groove where you have another choice to pass. It is one of the tracks that takes all the patience that I have usually. The first thing is getting the car to go fast all the time, be smooth and drive it like I am supposed to there.  After that, it's being patient and using your head to get the best finish you can."
