The Monster Mile Shows It's Fun Side
Monday, 22 September 2008 05:34

 

"It was a fun race," second place finisher Matt Kenseth said of the Camping World RV 400.

 

The Roush Fenway driver thouroughly enjoyed Sunday's event at Dover International Speedway. At the end of the race it came down to three teammates Greg Biffle, Kenseth and Carl Edwards.

 

At the conclusion of the race Biffle came out on top, followed by Kenseth and Edwards.

 

With those three out there battling for the trophy, Kenseth couldn't hold back his enthusiasm.

 

"Out of the three of us there all duking it out, there was going to be two guys that aren’t as happy as the other guy," Kenseth noted. "So, I’m really happy for Greg. That’s two wins in a row and that team’s really hitting their stride. It was good day for us. Most of the day we were really solid on pit road and made some good adjustments. We’re just a little off. I should’ve called for more of an adjustment there that last time; the track got free on us and I was just too loose to hold them off.”

 

Would it have made any difference if those two weren't teammates?

 

Kenseth believes not.

 

"Whether these guys were driving for different teams or if I was racing Mark [Martin] and Jeff [Burton], who are friends of mine, used to be teammates," he said. "I think you’re going to race everybody the same. I think all three of us raced as hard as we could race each other for the win without wrecking ourselves or each other and Greg and I were – I was pretty close to wrecking us both on the backstretch one time. So, we just couldn’t race any harder."

 

Kenseth's second place outing at the Monster Mile pushed him up to the second spot in the point standings, just 167 points behind the leader Edwards.

 

Despite missing the win Kenseth shows no signs of disappointment concluding, "It was a fun race. We were all racing as hard as we could, for sure.”
