DARLINGTON, S.C. -- Matt Kenseth understands and appreciates the history behind the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. "I always feel like the Southern 500 is one of the biggest races of the year -- certainly it was right up there towards the top of my list of track I wanted to win at that I had never won before last year," Kenseth said Thursday. In addition to his Darlington victory, his other wins came at Las Vegas, Kansas, Kentucky, Bristol, Chicago and Loudon. He finished second in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, his best result since 2006, in what was his debut season with Joe Gibbs Racing.
