Kenseth, Roush parting ways

Matt Kenseth sat down before dozens of reporters on Friday like a man in the middle of a difficult divorce.

SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Matt Kenseth sat down before dozens of reporters on Friday like a man in the middle of a difficult divorce.

Far from a spotlight-seeker, Kenseth nonetheless has provided the biggest buzz of this weekend’s NASCAR races at Kentucky Speedway after his controversial break with the team he has driven for the last 15 years.

Team owner Jack Roush also spoke about the news that broke on Tuesday. He said he was as surprised as anyone to find out that Kenseth, who has won two Daytona 500s for Roush including this year’s, was leaving.
