John Henry, NASCAR owner

This one's for you Pauline, and all the other Matt Kenseth fans looking for a little love.
Jack Roush, the now co-owner of the five-car Roush Fenway Racing team, said John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox and now part owner of the NASCAR team, called him twice over the weekend.
The first time was on Saturday night after Matt Kenseth won the NASCAR Busch Series race at California Speedway. The second time was on Sunday morning before the Cup race.
"I actually wasn't up when he called this morning and he had a family thing to do," Roush said. "But we'll dedicate my part of this victory to John. He is the owner of record for the 17 car moving forward."
Chip Bolin was serving as Kenseth's crew chief for the California Speedway Cup race. Kenseth's regular crew chief, Robbie Reiser, is serving a four-race suspension for having the No. 17 Ford not pass inspection after qualifying for the Daytona 500.
Roush said Bolin and engineering manager Chris Andrews are "doing a heck of a job" during Reiser's suspension.
"We've had conversations with Chip different times over the years about what he might like to do, and he's always said he'd rather not have the responsibility to do what Robbie has been doing," Roush said. "But he got thrust in to it and has done a really good job. I'm just glad to be here and part of this myself."
