After winning a series-high seven races last year, #20-Matt Kenseth was winless in 2014. It was one of the greatest turnarounds in series history. Only Carl Edwards’ falloff in 2008 would be greater. Edwards won a series-high nine races in 2008 and then went winless the following season. Kenseth is the eighth driver in series history to win at least five races one season and go winless the following year (while running the full schedule).
The drivers:
Carl Edwards (nine wins in 2008, zero in 2009)
Matt Kenseth (seven wins in 2013, zero in 2014)
Jeff Gordon (six wins in 2007, zero in 2008)
Kasey Kahne (six wins in 2006 zero in 2007)
Mark Martin (five wins in 2009, zero in 2010)
Bill Elliott (five wins in 1992, zero in 1993)
Dale Earnhardt (five wins in 1980, zero in 1981)
Richard Petty (five wins in 1978, zero in 1977)
