Kenseth out, Stenhouse in for RFR in 2013
CONCORD, N.C. -- Matt Kenseth brought Jack Roush his first championship at NASCAR's highest level, and his first victory in the sport's biggest race. Now a driver and a car owner who have been synonymous with one another for more than a decade are splitting up at season's end.

Never thought I'd see the day. Kind of reminds me of Bobby Labonte leaving JGR.

Kenseth might just end up at JGR. I am absolutely thrilled for Stenhouse though. He's a hometown boy done good. (Olive Branch, MS is a suburb of Memphis, TN)

As a 15 year Kenseth fan, this was a surprise. But looking back, the writing was kind of on the wall. With Matt's success statistics, there is no excuse for the lack of sponsorship coming from the Roush marketing group. When you look at other teams ability to secure long term sponsorship Jack's group falls behind. A good example is Childress securing CAT/Wheaties for Burton, whose overall performance is pail in comparison with Matt's. Not to mention how horrible Burton runs now. You don't see any generic "Eco-boost" type filler decals on Gibbs, Hendricks, Childress, Penske or even Ganassis. Yes, Matt isn't as colorful as Gordon, Stewart or Johnson, but performance is just as marketable as a lot of other drivers that cross the finish line a lot later than he does. His move was motivated by security and money. It always comes down to money. So for the first time in over 20 years I find myself a bit disillusioned with Roush and I am now coming to terms with the fact that my driver will likely be driving a Toyota with a number other than #17.

I'm still holding out hope that Matt will be in a Stewart-Hass car next season. Tony has said off the record that he wants Matt to drive for S-H when they were both coming up to Madison to race. I'd guess that Tony has a few extra $$$ laying around from the Go Daddy science experiment he is currently working on to start a fourth team.
I'm choosing Joey Logano as my avatar. I feel he is a worthy ally.
Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
