Team: No. 17 Zest Ford Fusion Crew Chief: Jimmy Fennig Chassis: Primary: RK-793 (Last run at Talladega) Kenseth on racing at Daytona International Speedway: “I looked forward to going to Talladega more so than any plate race I have ever looked forward to in my career with as well as we ran at Daytona and how fast our cars were in February. I feel the same way about Daytona this weekend and I am looking forward to getting down there. At Talladega, I felt we had the fastest car in the race and dominated the race as much as you can, but I felt like I messed that up at the end when Greg (Biffle) and I somehow got separated. I have been agonizing over that since Talladega, but I am looking forward to getting some redemption this weekend and returning to Daytona coming off that win in the 500. Our Roush Fords have been fast and we have been able to pass, so I am going back this weekend hoping it will be the same as our earlier superspeedway results this year.” Crew chief Jimmy Fennig on racing at Daytona International Speedway: “We are bringing our Talladega car from earlier this season. We’ll do some practice runs in race trim as well as qualifying trim, but I don’t think it will be a big difference in the track from February to July honestly. Our cars have really been fast at superspeedways this season and I anticipate another good run for our Zest team at Daytona this weekend.” FAST FACTS: • Kenseth will participate in the DAYTONA 500 Champion’s Walk of Fame ceremony on Saturday, July 7 at 3:30pm • Kenseth is one of only nine drivers who have won the DAYTONA 500 multiple times • Kenseth has an average starting position of 20.7 and an average finishing position of 16.7 at Daytona • Kenseth has achieved two wins, five top-five, and 12 top-10’s at Daytona International Speedway • Kenseth has completed 4,069 of 4,425 (92.0 percent) laps at Daytona and led for a total of 133 laps • This weekend at Daytona, Kenseth will pilot the No. 17 Zest Ford Fusion • Entering this weekend, Kenseth is currently leading the Sprint Cup Series driver point standings
