" Kenseth has finished 14th or better for five straight weeks, though, and I have a feeling where this driver will end up is with his sixth consecutive playoff appearance.

Underdog of the Week: It may not have been flashy, but a 29th-place finish, four laps down meant the world to the small town of Abingdon, Va.
