kenseth_kansasThis week suggests an uphill battle – at least statistically – for Matt Kenseth. Although Kenseth has won at Phoenix (2002), the second-ranked driver’s resume pales in comparison to that of Jimmie Johnson. The most recent of Kenseth’s five top-five finishes came in the fall of 2007. Johnson has finished among the top five in 12 of the last 14 Phoenix events. Johnson’s average finish is 6.5 vs. Kenseth’s 17.2. Kenseth’s March trip to the Valley of the Sun in the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota produced a seventh-place finish.
