#20-Matt Kenseth had his testing at Texas Motor Speedway cut short when he crashed his car because of an issue with his front right tire. Two days after losing his NASCAR Sprint Cup points lead with a 20th-place finish at Talladega, Kenseth had the session-ending crash Tuesday during a week-delayed Texas test that includes the top eight drivers in the points standings. ‘Well, it was up and down. It ended down’ Kenseth said. ‘We just had a tire problem and crashed, so were done for the test. “¦ When you run nine laps and one blows apart for no reason, thats always a cause for concern for sure.” Kenseth said the car he crashed in turn one wasnt the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota he plans to race at the high-banked, 1.5-mile Texas track on Nov. 3, which comes after Sundays race at Martinsville. ‘No, shes at home safe ready to get to the track’ Kenseth said. There are 16 drivers from five teams taking part in a three-day test at Texas that goes through Wednesday. There were 11 hours of testing scheduled Tuesday, with another full day Wednesday.( Associated Press )
