Matt Kenseth 2015 Review
By Richard Tix
Season Grade: B+
Season Preview: "I do believe Kenseth will bounce back (in a way). I think he gets back on the win board, but his overall consistency may be a bit down. I think some early season adjusting may take place at JGR to the new Camry's and four team set up. I think he is in line for 2-3 wins, 10-11 top 5's, and 18-21 top 10's which are all a bit down from 2014 (except wins). As always, he will be expected to make the Chase at least, and possibly be a title contender."
Season Review: Bounce back, that is one way to put Kenseth's 2015 season. He passed my expectations in almost every category by finishing with 5 wins, 12 top 5's and 20 top 10's. However, the main point of Kenseth's 2015 season will always be remembered as him v Joey Logano.
Really is was the big factor in deciding the fate of his season and finishing 15th in points. Overall, it was a fantastic season by him and the #20 crew, but it is hard to look past everything that happened on the track not involving wins, top 5's, and top 10's.
In the end, Kenseth would still have come up short of the end goal, but many people will still cling to what if's. Instead, Kenseth needs to focus on moving onto 2016 and a fresh start as he could be a ttitle contender again.
