Matt Kenseth 2016 Preview
By Richard Tix
It is January 2016 and I think it is time to move on from the Kenseth v JoLo incident in 2015. However, even though it is time to move on does not mean that incident and the outcome did not define most of his season.
It really is unfortunate that many will remember the season because of that, but it is what the new Chase is. In the end though, he had a very productive season that started to heat up right around the time Kyle Busch came back. He ended up with 5 wins, 12 top 5's, and 20 top 10's. He now has 12 wins in three years with JGR.
Going forward it looks like the two drivers will put it behind them, but that all could be offseason talk. One thing is for sure, Kenseth is ready to get 2016 started.
Bold Predictions/2016 Season Expectations:
- Over his career Matt Kesneth has been Mr. Consistent so it is hard not to imagine him posting pretty close numbers to his average. I do not think he will get another 5 wins in 2016, but I do think multiple wins is likely. 2-3 wins, 10-12 top 10's, and 18-19 top 10's is right about where I have Kenseth in 2016. All of those numbers are a bit down from 2015, but I think he will advance further just be not having issues and run in's with Joey Logano.
