Kenseth still sponsorless

Still-sponsorless Busch driver Matt Kenseth is getting a high-powered hand in his search for a sponsor: Roush Racing, which apparently views Kenseth as a prime “farm-league” prospect. Jack Roush, whose five Winston Cup drivers include Mark Martin and Jeff Burton, put Kenseth in his driver development program last year. He likes Kenseth’s potential, and plans to throw his organization’s marketing support behind any company that decides to sponsor Kenseth’s Chevy.(Times-Dispatch)(2-9-98)
