MATT KENSETH!!!!!

 

[Dodgeman4345]

Talk about coming out of left field. Lol.

 

[FloridaFan88]

Great choice. Don't be surprised if he wins a race in that car. It is capable in the right hands.

Am I missing something? I don't see any reference to Matt

Wow, that is super shocking!

Ok, that's unexpected. Nice to see Kenseth again tho.

Been racking my brain trying to figure out why but does anyone have an idea to why there are two Charlotte and two Darlington races? Are they just planning ahead to make sure they get 36 races in just in case they can't get to every track?

I know part of it right now is logistics and travel based. Just trying to stay close to Charlotte for the teams but it seems weird to put those races in since they are not on the regular schedule.

Matt Kenseth & Ryan Newman have been granted waivers from NASCAR, they'll be able to compete for the Cup championship

I had figured it was Xfinity but the article said they were unsure of the plans for the lower series
The race miles and the fact the they have a 2nd race at Darlington really makes me think that they are referring to Xfinity

They're not. There will be some shorter cup races to try to save teams with motor rebuild costs as they try to catch up schedule wise. There's still no tentative Xfinity or Truck plans at the moment.

So with Darlington getting 2 races that means another track will be losing a race, maybe this will help shake up the schedule even more going forward
