The Worker Warehouse - Home: Carhartt News: Matt Kenseth Finishes 18th at Watkins Glen Watkins Glen, New York - August 14, 2005 Matt Kenseth Finishes 18th at Watkins Glen

Matt Kenseth finished 18th in the second and final road course race of the 2005 season held at Watkins Glen International on Sunday. A miscue on pit road resulted in lost positions just after the midway point of the event, from which Kenseth would never fully recover. Lining up by points, Kenseth would roll off in the 15th position. Early in the event Kenseth radioed to the DEWALT crew that the car was too loose. Kenseth brought the No. 17 down pit road under green on lap 21 for an air pressure adjustment, four fresh tires and fuel. This would be the first of two regularly scheduled stops for Kenseth. The next would come at lap 52 with Kenseth running in the 13th position. The crew made another air pressure adjustment and gave Kenseth four tires and enough fuel to make it to the end of the race given sufficient caution laps. Unfortunately, a miscommunication on pit road resulted in the loss of several positions as Kenseth thought the crew was signaling him to stay put although they had actually completed the stop. The delay resulted in Kenseth stalling the car and losing valuable seconds as the crew had to push the car on out of the pit box. Kenseth returned to the field in the 26th position and worked his way up into the 18th position to take the checkered the flag. "Our finish today is definitely not what we wanted," said Kenseth, after the race. "We've been on a streak lately, finishing in the top-five and top-ten, gaining in the point standings. Finishing 18th was certainly not what we came here to do. We had a miscue on pit road that really cost us. I thought the guys were signaling to me to stay put but they were actually finished with the stop. I stalled the car and it cost us valuable seconds and positions on the track. Our car wasn't good enough to really make up a lot of ground after that." With his 18th-place finish at Watkins Glen, Matt Kenseth lost one spot in the Nextel Cup standings, dropping to the 16th position. The No. 17 DEWALT Ford Taurus will be back in competition at the Michigan International Speedway on Sunday, August 21st.
