NASCAR Cup Series champion Matt Kenseth speaks with Dale Earnhardt Jr. today’s episode of The Dale Jr. Download at 4 p.m. ET on NBCSN. Kenseth, who came out of retirement earlier this year, will discuss his return to NASCAR and driving for Chip Ganassi Racing in 2020. Following are excerpts from their conversation.
Kenseth on hopes for his return to NASCAR: “I hope to be competitive…it’s going to be a steep learning curve…I’m already a little anxious about that first lap at Darlington. But my goals aren’t any different than they used to be…be the best I can be, go out and hope you can put everything together and figure out how to win.”
Kenseth on mental and physical training: “There are a lot more tools today than there were 10 years ago, if you can’t be in the car. I don’t think anything replaces being in the car and working with the team…talking to my teammate Kurt (Busch) a lot, try to be as mentally prepared as you can, changing up some of the physical training as well…but you know, you can never give away trade secrets (laughing).”
Earnhardt Jr.: “I’ve rode bikes with Matt. Biking is a very social activity – but not so much with Matt because he’s always about 100 yards ahead of me (laughing)! I can’t even carry a conversation on with the guy…he’s got to get his workout in.”
