  WHAT’S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MATT KENSETH?
  “Matt Kenseth is a superstar in the making and he’s well on his way, obviously. He has what it takes and I’ve believed in Matt for probably well over a year now. I’ve begged the people at Roush Racing to get him under contract before someone else does and we’ve done that. And now he won his first Busch race, so that sure makes me feel a lot better than I did a week ago right now. Although, running sixth at Daytona was good. But he’s also leading the point standings. He is a tremendous driver and if somebody said, ’Why don’t you create from scratch the ultimate race car driver.’ That’s the one.”

• The Busch cars roll into Las Vegas this weekend for the Sam’s Town Las Vegas 300. Busch qualifying starts Friday at 3:30 Central and the Race is Saturday at 3pm, live on ESPN.

• Matt loves this track and raced here in a South-West Tour race, placing 4th.

• Matt Kenseth, the 25-year-old Busch Series driver from Cambridge, can count Randy LaJoie among his fans. “Kenseth is going to be a very stiff competitor for the championship this year,” the two-time defending series champion said. “I would race with him any day of the week, high or low. There’s some of these guys we race with that I wouldn’t let valet park my car. Matt is not one of them.”  (2-19-98 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

• Matt Kenseth brings the Lycos #17 into a 6th place finish at Daytona. After starting the race in 7th, Matt had worked his way as high as 4th place before an early race caution brings the lead cars into the pits. Losing several positions on his pit stop, Matt charges through the field with the help of some fast drafting partners. A few very close calls with some wrecks, Matt stays with the lead draft and finishes an impressive 6th.

• MATT KENSETH No. 17 Lycos Chevrolet: “I always dreamed of coming to Daytona. It’s so exciting to be here. It’s been very stressful the last couple weeks, with our sponsor backing out, and we just repainted the car last night for this one-race deal. I’m happy we finished that good, for all the things happening this week.”

• Still-sponsorless Busch driver Matt Kenseth is getting a high-powered hand in his search for a sponsor: Roush Racing, which apparently views Kenseth as a prime “farm-league” prospect. Jack Roush, whose five Winston Cup drivers include Mark Martin and Jeff Burton, put Kenseth in his driver development program last year. He likes Kenseth’s potential, and plans to throw his organization’s marketing support behind any company that decides to sponsor Kenseth’s Chevy. (Times-Dispatch) (2-9-98)
