Kenseth best of Roush drivers at Bristol

Matt Kenseth is the only NASCAR Nextel Cup Series driver for Roush Fenway Racing with a win at Bristol Motor Speedway. He has two. Both have come in the August race at the track, the most recent in 2006.
“Bristol has such a cool atmosphere," said Kenseth, driver of the No. 17 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "The place is full of people. You have 150,000 people around a half-mile racetrack, it’s a Saturday night and the crowd’s kind of rowdy. Usually there’s a lot of action going on and there’s always some accidents and there’s some people getting mad. It’s kind of a cool, crazy, party-type atmosphere and it’s a special place to be able to win at. There’s a lot of cool history there. Darrell Waltrip has won a ton of races there, Dale Earnhardt too, and there are a lot of cool races and cool highlights throughout the years that’s come from there."
The car his team is bringing to Bristol last raced at Dover International Speedway in June. It finished fifth in that race. In 15 career Cup races at Bristol, Kenseth has seven top-five and nine top-10 finishes. But the track has been resurfaced since the last Cup race there in March.
“The track is definitely a lot different than what it was," Kenseth said. "I really enjoyed the old configuration. It had a lot of character and a lot of unique parts about the track that you had to negotiate and it’s a lot different now. We’re going to have to relearn that and hopefully we can get a handle on it like we did the old one.”
