Matt Kenseth has continued his trademark consistency in NASCAR's "Chase for the Nextel Cup." Unfortunately for the 2003 champion, that consistency has been finishing in the back of the pack.
Since starting the Chase with a solid seventh-place run at New Hampshire, Kenseth ran into an uncharacteristic string of bad luck over the next four races to all but erase any title hopes for 2007.



After New Hampshire, Kenseth sat seventh in the standings, just 54 points out of the lead. But he suffered a mechanical failure at Dover while leading the race and limped to a 35th-place finish.
Accidents spoiled Kenseth's next two races, as he was 35th again at Kansas before finishing 26th at Talladega. It was the first time he ran 26th or worse over a three-race stretch since 2001.

It does seem like if something is gonna happen in a race, it finds its way to Matt. He just can't seem to get a break right now.

This is where having 2 favorites can make one conflicted...

On one hand I'm ecstatic that Bowyer is doing so well, on the other Kenseth's bad luck makes me want to cry.
