Matt Kenseth Quotes :
“It's a weird thing,”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“It means a lot. This base group has been together for a long time and they do an awesome job every week. Our performance has been better and you knew we had a fast car when we're on the pole and for me to qualify as fast. Our DeWalt Ford was awesome all day. I'm just so thankful to have the opportunity to drive these race cars. It's a lot of fun.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“I still think it's a stretch with all of those cars in between. We just have to try to lead some laps and win some races.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“Last year we made the top 10, I felt like in my heart that we weren't going to run for the championship anyway. I didn't think we were running good enough.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“I think that we could be a threat to challenge everybody with the way everybody is running now.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“I think it will perform the same at California. Now that doesn't mean you can't have a flat tire or a bad pit stop or a broken part ... but I do think that we'll go there and be competitive enough to run up front, and, hopefully, challenge for a win.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“This team really has a lot of momentum right now. We've been running well, posting some good finishes and, of course, are coming off of our first win of the season.”

Matt Kenseth quotes...
“We've run much better and you know the guys that have been around us in the points have had some trouble and maybe haven't run as well in the second half of the year. But we're not in it, yet. We still have another week to go.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“I didn't think we had a chance to [make the Chase], but we've run much better and the guys that have been around us in points have had some trouble and maybe haven't run as well the second half of the year and had some things happen to them, too. We're not in it yet; we still have another week to go.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...

Matt Kenseth quotes...

Matt Kenseth quotes...
“I didn't think we had a chance,”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“Our points system has never been about winning races. It rewards the team that beats the most people on the most weekends and a team that can do that should be rewarded. In my championship year [2003], I only won one race. I don't think people saw that as being wrong or terrible.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“Winning's hard. We were second to Tony at Indianapolis this year and we did everything possible to win. They could have made that race worth 10,000 points and we couldn't have tried any harder.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“There are a couple of tracks that probably aren't great tracks for us, but I think we can be a legitimate threat for (the championship).”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“I am excited about going to Richmond this weekend. It has all come down to this race to settle the top ten that will be competing for the championship this year. We've had a good run over the last several months and have put ourselves in contention for this thing. We have to have no mistakes this weekend -- not by the driver and not on pit road. It's going to be exciting, I know that.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“I'm looking forward to heading back out to California this weekend. We had a good run there early in the year. We ran in the top ten for much of the day until we cut a tire down late in the race. This team really has a lot of momentum right now. We've been running well, posting some good finishes and, of course, are coming off of our first win of the season.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“Compared to the competition, I was pretty happy with the car — the way it drove and what our speeds were.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“I'm sure Jack is pretty happy right now, ... He gives us everything we need to run up front.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“It feels great to come from as far behind as we did, ... We're back in it and running real good right now. Our cars came back to life in the second half of the season.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“I'm relieved -- I'm more than relieved,”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“We're really running well, ... We just didn't sneak in. We still ran second tonight and had a good run. I really think we can be a threat down the stretch. There are a couple of tracks that probably aren't great tracks for us, but I think we can be a legitimate threat for it.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“It was great to have dug our way out of the hole and made the chase. We got a lot momentum right now. All of the Roush cars are running really well right now. It's fun to be part of that team.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“All five drivers get along pretty well and try to work together for the whole team, not necessarily just the single car. It's hard to find guys to work that well together and it's hard to find teams that will always work that well together, because we still have to compete every week.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“Jack's a good owner. He gives us everything we need to run up front. We all have access to the same stuff, and all five of us work well together.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“It's the same thing I've always said: You still have to reward consistency somehow,”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“So you still have to be rewarded for that and for running good week in and week out. It's hard to win these races, so you can't just reward the winner every Sunday.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“We have to have no mistake this weekend - not by the driver and not on pit road, ... It's going to be exciting. I know that.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“[Kenseth, the 2003 series champion, was happy just to get a crack at his second title.] I'm relieved, but I'm more than relieved. I'm excited, ... We were way behind two months ago. We just kept digging and digging. I feel like we have some momentum.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“Jack's a good owner, ... He gives us everything we need to run up front. We all have access to the same stuff and all five of us work well together.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“Just to add one more thing to that,”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“I came out of the pits first and Kasey Kahne was up there on two tires and Kurt came up behind me, so I just passed Kasey first and then Kurt caught and passed me,”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“That's not to say it couldn't happen, although I don't think it will because all five of us are trying to race for a championship right now and it would be silly to help anybody when you're trying to win yourself.”
Matt Kenseth quotes...
“I'm really enjoying this, ... It's fun to drive these cars. I really think we can be a threat down the stretch.”
