Can Matt Kenseth replicate his first season with JGR and make a run at a second championship in 2017?

Do you remember Kenseth’s first season with JGR? It was that season that he won seven races and was a favorite to win the championship come playoff time. However, Kenseth fell short in the playoffs and was not able to capture his second championship.

This season Kenseth will be looking to get back the magic that he had when he first came over to JGR.

If Kenseth can reclaim that magic and win a handful of races the playoff points will put him in a great position to win a championship. Winning races and running up from will go a long way in determining a champion this season and Kenseth should be able to do both in 2017.
