Matt Kenseth hopes his hard luck at Charlotte is thing of the past

Matt Kenseth should be forgiven if he is a bit leery about driving at Charlotte this weekend. His luck, it seems, hasn't been good at that track in recent years.

OK, but not great. A look back at last October shows Kenseth plugging along with a damaged car and dinged-up Chase aspirations.

Saturday night's Bank of America 500, weather permitting, is the first race in the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup. It was in 2015, too, then known as the Eliminator Round. Rain delayed the race to Sunday; it might do so again.
