NASCAR: The Five Worst Wrecks From Last Weekend (Las Vegas)

No. 2 – Kenseth And Elliot Wreck Together

When it comes to luck in NASCAR, you’re certainly not talking about Chase Elliott and Matt Kenseth.

Elliott has run three races in 2016 and recorded a DNF in two of them. His other finish was a top-10 but recording a DNF in two out of three events is not a pattern that Elliott wants to keep up. After the race on Sunday, Elliott was hard on himself for not being able to avoid Kenseth on the track. During his telecast interview he talked about how he should have got on the break earlier and kept his No. 24 machine from making contact with the No. 20 machine. In Phoenix Elliott needs to make sure that his No. 24 machine is still on the track and in one piece when the checkered flag waves.

For Kenseth it was just another lost race. Through three races he has led laps in every event but yet to record a top-10 finish. Kenseth got loose on the final lap in Daytona and finished 14th, had the penalty in Atlanta and finished off of the lead lap and then wrecked in Las Vegas. Kenseth had a car that could have won all three events. At some point the bad luck is going to run out and Kenseth is going to start scoring some better finishes. Kenseth fans just need to hope that wins are in his future because nothing would be more upsetting then the wins not coming, knowing he had three real shots to win in the beginning of the season.
