Another Downer: What’s Wrong with Kenseth?

By Jerry Bonkowski Can someone figure out what’s going on with Matt Kenseth? Whatever it is, it’s all been wrong, wrong, wrong thus far in the 2016 Sprint Cup season. Kenseth led 40 laps in the season-opening Daytona 500, only to fade on the last lap and finish a disappointing 14th.
