Kenseth looking for Chase win No. 1

Kansas Speedway has always been a race in the Chase for the Nextel Cup. That means it's a track where Matt Kenseth has yet to post a win.
Kenseth has made the Chase all four years of its existence, but has never won a race in the Chase. His best finish at Kansas came in 2005, when he was fifth.
But the car his team is bringing to Kansas has a bit of a winning record. It won races at California Speedway and Michigan International Speedway in 2006. In its last race, it was fourth at Michigan in August. He will need a strong finish at Kansas to climb into championship contention. Kenseth is 10th in the Chase standings, 116 points out of first.
“We’ll be at Kansas this weekend with another shot at an intermediate track with the ‘old’ car," said Kenseth, driver of the No. 17 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "This kind of track has been good for us in the past and Kansas is a lot like Chicago, and we’ve been very competitive there the past two years. We’re taking the same car that’s run at Chicago the last two times there and it’s been a car we’ve ran at a lot of intermediate tracks, so hopefully it will be just as competitive this weekend and we’ll be able to bounce back with a strong finish.”
