| News: Despite sponsorship issues, Kenseth's future is secure at Roush Fenway Racing. Team owner Jack Roush said Monday that the 2003 Sprint Cup champion, in the final year of his current contract, will have a ride with RFR as long as he wants one, ESPN.com reports. | Impact: "Matt Kenseth is a cornerstone of Roush Fenway and he'll be part of it as long as I am, as long as he wants to be," Roush said. "He certainly has a place here as long as I'm able to stay at the head of it." The No. 17 team still lacks sponsorship, but the Roush stance behind Kenseth is very firm.
