Las Vegas – Matt Kenseth

  • Wins: 3
  • Top 5’s: 6
  • Top 10’s: 9
  • Laps Led: 526
  • Poles: 1

Las Vegas Motor Speedway is one of NASCAR’s newest tracks. With the first Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race taking place in 1998 and only one race there per season, there hasn’t really been much time for a driver to accomplish too much.

Even though there isn’t too many flashy numbers at the track, there’s one driver who has been consistent and looked better than the rest over the past 18 years of racing there: Matt Kenseth.

So far, Kenseth has only won one championship (2003) and in that same season he won at Las Vegas after leading 88 laps. It was the only win he got all year. In 2013, Kenseth won on his 41st birthday after making a late pass on Kasey Kahne and holding him off in the final turns.

Though history is yet to be written for a track just a few miles northeast of the Strip, Matt Kenseth has had more success than any other driver in the field.
