Kenseth Wins Again In Vegas

Written by Josh Katinger · March 7, 2004

Defending NEXTEL Cup champion Matt Kenseth cruised to his second straight Cup victory Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Coming back to the schene of his only win in his 2003 championship season, Kenseth already had one victory under his belt in 2004. Now he has another. This was also the second week in a row that rookie Kasey Kahne came across the line second behind Matt. However this week was not the photo finish that Rockingham produced.

    Whoa. And I thought the F1 race last night was borning…at least I only fell asleep during the last 15 laps of that. I think I was asleep for 2/3 of the Nacar race. Las Vegas has to be one of the most boring tracks ever, and the TV show is made even worse by all the hype about being in Las Vegas in the prerace show. If I have to hear about “lucky numbers” again I think I might just shoot myself. And forgetting to hit mute during the start of the race almost pushed me over the edge too. Do we really have to hear “Boogity boogity boogity” every race?

    My sister and brother-in-law were at the race and left about 1/2 way through…his comment was yours exactly Andrew…”it’s like an F1 race!”

    Nascar really has to get rid of the cookie cutter tracks. The same thing happened in F1 when they went to the cookie cutter tracks and got rid of all the traditional ones that were challenging to the drivers.

    The same thing is happening in Nascar now. Tracks like Darlington are interesting to watch because the turns are not the same, so set up is more of an issue, and how the turns are taken.

    The only new track that nascar has picked up in the past 5 years of any interest is the Texas Speedway just because its different than the 1.5 mile “kinda flat out, kinda not” tracks.

    The race must have sucked really hard if they left after paying for the tickets.

    The “Killer K’s” strike again! That of course would be Kenseth and Kahne. I just need to know one thing. What in hell happened to Junior’s effort? From not getting the car set up right for qualifying and practice, to not finding ANY performance what so ever during the race. Finishing 35th, WITHOUT a wreck as an excuse, around 35 laps down, and getting pushed to 7th in the points standings has to be a bummer. But he looks good in those TV commercials!
