Matt Kenseth – Martinsville Advance Team: No. 6 Wyndham Rewards Ford Fusion
Crew Chief: Matt Puccia
First Data 500 – Sunday, October 28 at 2:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM 90
Kenseth on racing at Martinsville:
“Martinsville has always been a big challenge for me. If you can get your car to turn, have it fire off decent and have some good long-run speed, then it can be fun. If you can’t get your car to turn then you really just feel like you’re in the way for about three-and-a-half hours. So, hopefully the Wyndham Rewards Ford Fusion unloads pretty fast and we can have a good day Saturday, qualify well, and get a good starting spot for Sunday. That not only helps with our track position, but it helps with our pit stall selection, which can mean a lot at Martinsville.”
