Staying classy throughout a guest appearance at the Newseum on Pennsylvania Avenue, Kenseth did more than sign autographs and take photos with fans within eyeshot of the Capital dome. "I'm a big Will Ferrell fan," said Kenseth, who also spent nearly 30 minutes in a talk show setting at the Newseum's Knight Theater, tackling the questions from Richmond International Raceway president Dennis Bickmeier (an Ohio University School of Journalism grad who served as program host) as well as inquisitive fans. "I feel like Jimmy Fallon," said Bickmeier, whose track sponsored Kenseth's appearance at the Newseum -- an interactive museum of news and journalism -- ahead of Saturday night's Toyota Owners 400 at RIR.
