Onward to Loudon
I got a good laugh from most of Power Rankings this week, though he really picked on Tony.
"Hey Jeremy! Where do you want the Ray Evernham pinata!" hehehe... there's some other good ones too, especially 1 thru 5...
Matt will be back in the DeWalt car on Sunday and I'll be back in front of my own TV!!!

Kenseth on racing at New Hampshire International Speedway:
"We've ran pretty good at Loudon lately. It's important for us to go there and run good this weekend because that momentum will carry over to when we return there for the Chase in September. It's important to have a good run for a number of reasons. We ran really good at Chicago last week but didn't get the finish we probably deserved. It's important for us to bounce back strong this weekend at Loudon to kind of put Chicago behind us. But, the important thing to me now is that we're getting our cars to where they can run up front and compete for the win each week, and we're doing that right now."
Crew Chief Robbie Reiser on racing at New Hampshire International Speedway:
"Loudon is a good place for us to continue our momentum. I can't say enough about this team and how they are performing this year. Our cars have been good nearly every time we unload at the track, with only a couple of exceptions. The pit crew has been as consistent as ever. They did a great job at Chicago all day. We never lost a position on pit road and they kept Matt up front on the final two stops. We've competed for a number of wins so far and that's a credit to this entire 17 team. It's been a one-race-at-a-time approach that has worked well for us this year and has us operating at a championship level right now."

article in DAM NEWS.....
MORE TROUBLE FINDS KENSETH
forgive Matt Kenseth for thinking his rental car got tapped by another Nextel Cup driver.This time, he was done in by a novice. "On the way to the racetrack(for testing Monday), I got ran into by a student driver," Kenseth told The Associated Press at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It's been tht kind of a week.
He lost Sunday's race when Jeff Gordon spun him out with 4 laps left in regulation. Then when he started testing his stock car, it was slower than epected. After switching cars, he crashed again...this time without any help.
dont know if you got a chance to read it...
bad day at bad rock for Matt..
If this is the only hurdle it takes for MAtty to beat out the Blowes Chevy, this year is Cup number two for Matt.
New week new race maybe things will go better for Matt & Tony...we can only hope. Hey check out my sil's bloghttp://windyday.efx2.com/
