Kenseth fastest in Practice 1

After a breakout year in 2013 that included 7 wins, Matt Kenseth and the #20 team are still searching for their first victory in 2014 despite 8 Top 5 finishes. Today, Kenseth topped the charts in the first practice session for Sunday’s “Crown Royal presents the John Wayne Walding 400,” most notably known as the Brickyard 400. Kenseth posted a lap of 186.285mph which unofficially broke the track record set by Ryan Newman last year. While practice speeds do not always predict winners, it proved once again that the #20 car has been fast for nearly the entire season but has fallen just short of capturing that first victory. Through 15 career starts, Kenseth has posted a 15.07 average finish with 6 top 5 finishes at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and he will be seeking his first victory in the Brickyard 400 when the green flag drops this Sunday. Take a look at the first practice results for this Sunday’s Brickyard 400.
