Kenseth says he's pleased to be back at Daytona, but ...

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The last time he left Daytona International Speedway, Matt Kenseth didn't feel like a winner.
“The last time I was here, I wasn’t," February's Daytona 500 winner said.
What?
Since his win in February, Kenseth had appeared at a speedway event to promote this weekend’s race. “I got beat in the media go-kart race,” he said.
But the former Cup champion still recalls his 500 win fondly.
“Obviously, the 500 was huge for us and really kicked our year off, and we were lucky enough to follow that up (with another) at California,” Kenseth said.
“We’ve had some good runs, some bad runs and some not very consistent finishes, so I’m glad to be back here.”
