2003 Ford 400 - Matt Kenseth Takes Home The Championship

[YankeeStacker25]

Most underrated champion ever.

@YankeeStacker25 I don't think Kenseth is underrated, everyone among the experts on the broadcasts, in the industry and around the garage knows what a great drivers he is. Most of the fans do also, he just doesn't get much coverage.

Don't know why though, I think he'd one of the most unique and fanscinating personalities in NASCAR.

Time to win another one

Ahahaha he would be rockin metallica! \m/

I don't understand why people threw so much venom at Matt for being the champ despite only winning once. It wasn't his fault NASCAR's points system was crap. He just did what he had to do. Why go for a win when a good finish will keep you on the right path to a title, anyway?

Kenseth's a Legend!

the last True cup champion...

[nascarsignore]

@MachineHeadRacing17 not to take nothing away from jimmie, of course

[MachineHeadRacing17]

@nascarsignore no, Jimmie is a false Champion

[nascarsignore]

@MachineHeadRacing17 you can't say that.... all 4 out of the 5 times Jimmie Johnson won the Champioship, he would of won it chase or not

[MachineHeadRacing17]

@nascarsignore no, he would have only won it twice under the old system. go look it up on Jayski if you don't believe me

[nascarsignore]

@MachineHeadRacing17 ok, my bad, twice. so he is still a champion..... no matter. he is the most consistent driver in NASCAR, and will go down in one of the best in NASCAR history, along with Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, and David Pearson

[SaintBEEP]

@nascarsignore Johnson will never be in the ranks of Petty, Pearson or Earnhardt. To say that is almost a dis-grace to racing. Not to say your a bad perosn, just that that is a bad point.

[SaintBEEP]

@MachineHeadRacing17 He would have finished second on the old schedule in 2006, not first. only by 4 points too. The champions without the chase are as follow:

2004: Jeff Gordan

2005: Tony Stewart

2006: Jimmie Johnson

2007: Jeff Gordan

2008: Carl Edwards

2009: Jimmie Johnson

2010: Kevin Harvick.

Only three of those years were ``Landslide`` championships. 2006 would have been decided by 4 points. less than 2004s 7 points. I think we can all say we`d be happire if the chase wasn`t invented

[wes3tomcat]

@SaintBEEP i think 2004 is Dale Earnhardt jr and 2010 Danny Hamliton

[SaintBEEP]

@wes3tomcat No the stats actually say it would have been Jeff gordon in 2004 and Kevin Harvick in 2010. Look it up or add it up yourself. Gordon would have won in 2004, 173 points ahead of Jr would in 3rd. In 2010 Hamlin would have been in 3rd 422 points behind Harvick.

[wes3tomcat]

@SaintBEEP i mean if Dale jr had not said, " I dont give a shit," they wouldnt take points away from him. Im not tryin to make you mad tho.

[RyanTheIncredible882]

@wes3tomcat that only cost jr 25 points, he would've still lost to gordon by 148 points. The wrecks at Martinsville and Atlanta are what really cost him.

[italkart24racer]

@SaintBEEP It's Jeff Gordon not Jeff Gordan

[Honda16Kelly]

@SaintBEEP 2011: Carl Edwards
