JGR gets 2 through in the Chase, wanted 1 more
AVONDALE, Ariz. — Matt Kenseth figured he would be in good shape even after a caution with two laps to go. Stay in the lead or at least ahead of the other Chase drivers and he would be one of four drivers in the final round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
A mistake on the restart cost Kenseth his shot at the championship.
Thinking he was clear heading into the first turn, Kenseth tried to get the inside line and was clipped from behind, sending him into the wall and out of the Chase playoffs.
