– When you lead the Winston Cup point standings for over 30
straight weeks, one good thing is that those around you have plenty of time to
plan for all the championship hoopla.
With Matt Kenseth and the No. 17 DEWALT Tools team—those plans have hit
overdrive in the last 168 hours. Here is what has occurred in Matt Kenseth’s
life since the checkered flag flew at Phoenix International Raceway:
-Matt traveled to Los Angeles, California on Monday, November 3rd to complete a
round table of interviews culminating with an appearance on the Best Damn Sports
Show. While onstage, he beat co-host Tom Arnold in a tricycle race on live
television.
-On Tuesday, November 4th, Matt traveled to Atlanta for his final scheduled
DEWALT appearance at the Specialty Tool and Fastener Distributors Association (STAFDA)
Trade Show. There, he signed autographs for over 200 people on the convention
floor of the DEWALT Booth.
-On Wednesday, November 5th, Matt traveled to New York City for a
pre-championship mini-media tour involving stops at the ESPN-Zone and LiveShots,
Inc.—a satellite media tour provider. Following the appearances, Kenseth
caught the New York Knicks/Milwaukee Bucks NBA basketball game from courtside
seats. For the record, the Bucks won.
-On Thursday, November 6th, Matt traveled to Rockingham, North Carolina to put
the championship talk to rest. That he accomplished on Sunday, November 9th at
4:43 p.m. EST.
-On Monday, November 10th, Matt traveled to Chicago for a NASCAR Champion media
day in the Windy City. After speaking with several national outlets such as the
USA Today newspaper and the New York Times, he headed north out of the city to
Green Bay, Wisconsin.
-That same evening, Matt showed up at Lambeau Field for the Monday Night
Football game between the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles. Before
kickoff, Matt exchanged helmets with Green Bay quarterback, Brett Favre—then
took a tour of the Packers locker room.
-After the game, Matt flew straight to Miami, Florida to test his Busch Grand
National car at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Testing began at 9 a.m. and Kenseth
was on time.
Punctual? You bet. But now you know why he hasn’t returned your congratulatory
phone call yet.
