Matt Kenseth has won a NASCAR championship. He’s won two Daytona 500s. And now he’s won a record six titles in the 33-year history of the Miller Lite Slinger Nationals. While that’s not quite the same, it’s not a bad accomplishment, either, for the old-school short-track racer from Cambridge. ‘It’s always fun to win, that’s for sure,’ Kenseth said Sunday in Slinger Speedway’s victory lane. ‘It’s always fun when you can beat Kyle. It’s hard to beat him.’ That’s Kyle Busch, always a threat in NASCAR and the 2011 Nationals champ. Kenseth beat him on a restart with 24 laps to go – after a caution flag he didn ‘t want – and pulled away by nearly a second at the checkered flag. Busch didn ‘t look happy when he climbed from his car and did not talk to reporters. Ross Kenseth, Matt’s son and the pole-sitter, rallied and benefited from attrition to finish third, another second behind. Michael Bilderback and Rich Bickle filled out the top five.(Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel)(7-2-2012)
