Matt Kenseth was clearly the class of the field in Sunday's Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway. The former NASCAR Winston Cup champion led a race high 73 laps and was able to easily overcome a penalty for entering the pits too soon. Unfortunately for Kenseth and his team, the Best Buy Ford had to settle for third as Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch were able to draft past the Wisconsin native in the green, white, checkered finish.
