467 - Matt Kenseth - Mr. Consistency

The Class of 2000 reunites as NASCAR Hall of Famer Matt Kenseth joins Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis in the Bojangles Studio. Matt catches everyone up on what he’s been doing since retiring from full-time racing and reflects on whether he misses the week-to-week grind of being a NASCAR Cup racer. Matt also touches on his 2020 return to Ganassi Racing during COVID, and his experience and future plans with SRX. Dale and Matt had a lot to catch up on, and wound back the hands of time to when they first met coming through the NASCAR Xfinity ranks. Dale explains the impact that Matt’s first Xfinity at Rockingham in 1998 had on his perception in the NASCAR garage, and how it made him regarded as a legitimate contender in the rising class of drivers. The two old friends discuss the strange sensation of being happy for each other over the years, all while being partially jealous of one another’s success and how it motivated them to be better behind the wheel.
