If you happened to watch the race today, you know that Matt Kenseth finished second.
He dominated the entire race and led a record 110+ laps at Las Vegas Speedway. He was in line to win the race with less than ten laps to go when a caution came out much to his disadvantage, because it put Jimmie Johnson right behind him at the restart.
Anyway, Johnson wound up catching him and winning the race. Afterwards, Kenseth apologized to his pit crew, saying that they gave him every opportunity to win the race with great pit stops all day long only to have him lose it in the end.
Everyone in the broadcast booth admitted that there was nothing that Kenseth could have done to ward off Johnson except to wreck the both of them, and that Kenseth was being much too hard on himself for taking blame in not winning.
Kenseth's teammate, Mark Martin, immediately approached Kenseth after the race and patted him on the back and told him that he's the man!
Anyway, I just wanted to take the time to share this with you, and to brag about my favorite driver in NASCAR....
.....because he's not only a really good race car driver, he's also a very classy, cool guy!
