Matt Kenseth Reveals How He Got Back In NASCAR With Chip Ganassi

When NASCAR returns on 17th May, Matt Kenseth will be making his NASCAR return with Chip Ganassi Racing. Matt retired in 2017 with some unfinished business in NASCAR.

In a recent interview, he talks about his upcoming adventure in Chip Ganassi. He revealed, “It was a very unexpected opportunity. The timing was very, very interesting,”.

Kenseth added, “I’d say we’re all in a very unique situation, globally, everybody’s in a unique situation. When Katie and I talked about, we figured it is probably the last opportunity like this that I will ever have.”

Talking about his expectations for the season, he said, “So the first few weeks, at least the first week, I’m trying to keep our expectations low because if we’re really going to these races and all these places with no practice, that’s going to be a slow adjustment to me.”

Matt has some unfinished business in NASCAR

Kenseth wasn’t ready to resign at the end of 2017 when he was left out of a seat at Joe Gibbs Racing for Erik Jones. After that, Roush Fenway Racing, where Kenseth burned through 16 seasons and won Cup rookie of the year, his title and both Daytona triumphs, baited him back to the track in 2018 of every low maintenance job. The association was revamping and needed Kenseth’s knowledge around. He ran 15 races in moderate vehicles, had only a couple of top-10 completes, and drove just five laps.

However, he got a call from the Ganassi association and was offered a seat in a vehicle equipped for winning races. Larson was a six-time victor and through four races this year was seventh in the standings. Kenseth saw an opportunity to return to Victory Lane.

Matt Kenseth will reunite with his former teammate Kurt Busch

He will be brought together with previous Roush co-worker Kurt Busch. Busch is in his second season with Ganassi and won a title in 2004 to give Roush consecutive titles. Kenseth discussed with Busch before accepting the Ganassi offer and is eager to work with his ex-teammate. In an interview, he said, “He’s probably the best colleague I at any point had”.
