To many older fans, Matt Kenseth is best remembered as the last NASCAR Cup Series champion before the arrival of the 10-race playoff system. Driving the No. 17 Ford for Jack Roush, he won only once in 2003, but was consistent enough throughout the season to beat Jimmie Johnson by 90 points. The playoffs arrived the next year and, for better or worse, are still with us.
A Hall of Fame pick last year, Kenseth joins the select “75 Greatest” list based on his 2003 title, his 20 poles, 39 race victories, 182 top-5 finishes, and 331 top-10 finishes in 697 career starts. Among those 39 victories are the 2009 and 2012 Daytona 500s, the 2013 Southern 500 at Darlington, four victories at Bristol, and three each at Dover, Fontana, Las Vegas, New Hampshire, and Michigan.
They stayed together for the next 13 seasons, winning 24 races. . Kenseth got 15 more victories between 2013-2017 in Toyotas with Joe Gibbs Racing before returning to Roush in 2018 to sub when Trevor Bayne wasn’t healthy enough to drive. Kenseth “retired” in 2019, but came back in 2020 to drive for Chip Ganassi Racing after Ganassi fired Kyle Larson for his conduct during an on-line racing event.
