11/20/2008 - Concord, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Roush Fenway Racing announced Thursday it has signed Matt Kenseth to a multi-year contract extension. Kenseth, the 2003 Cup Series champion, has been with the racing organization since 1998.
"It's been a great 11 years at Roush Fenway Racing," Kenseth said in a team statement. "We've had a lot of success together including a championship, and I'm really proud of that. I'm looking forward to the next few years and winning another championship with Roush Fenway."
Kenseth has recorded 16 career Sprint Cup victories, but has not won since the 2007 season-ending race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He is also one of two drivers who has qualified for the "Chase for the Sprint Cup" championship each year since the program's inception in 2004. Three-time series champion Jimmie Johnson is the other driver.
Kenseth ended this year's Sprint Cup season 11th in the point standings as he scored nine top-five finishes and 20 top-10's. His best finish in 2008 was second, coming in September at Dover (the second race in the Chase).
"Matt Kenseth is a champion in every sense of the word, and John Henry and I are proud to have him in our stable of drivers," team owner Jack Roush said. "Over the last 11 years, Matt has been a leader in our organization and a voracious competitor on track, and to know that he will continue on in that role with Roush Fenway is gratifying."
