I saw this over in the NA$CAR news group. Did someone put a kick me sign on his back?
Matt Kenseth's string of bad luck continued on Monday as he was involved in a traffic mishap. Kenseth was rear-ended by a student driver while on the way to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a mandatory NASCAR Nextel Cup Series test session.
"I was at a stoplight and (Roush Racing teammate Greg) Biffle was following me from the airport," said Kenseth in a news conference. "He always runs into me, so I thought it was him joking and it wasn't.
"It was a student driver and instructor who just pile-drove into the back of me, so that was exciting. They wanted to stop and fix it, but I didn't care if the bumper was laying on the ground or not. It was a rental. I would rather pay for it than mess with that."
Kenseth, a Cambridge native, was leading the USG Sheetrock 400 Sunday and spun when he was tapped from behind by Jeff Gordon with four laps left. Kenseth pitted in the waning laps and was then hit at the start-finish line by rookie David Stremme.
