Quote
"My dad made me a deal when I was 13. He would buy me a race car and drive it if I would work on it and keep it up. Then, when I turned 16, I could drive the car. It was hard work, but it was also a great experience and really prepared me to do more than just steer the car."—Matt Kenseth, on how he got into racingOfficial Site: About Matt Kenseth-
