11/20/2008 - Concord, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Roush Fenway Racing announced Thursday it has signed Matt Kenseth to a multi-year contract extension. Kenseth, the 2003 Cup Series champion, has been with the racing organization since 1998.
"It's been a great 11 years at Roush Fenway Racing," Kenseth said in a team statement. "We've had a lot of success together including a championship, and I'm really proud of that. I'm looking forward to the next few years and winning another championship with Roush Fenway."
Kenseth has recorded 16 career Sprint Cup victories, but has not won since the 2007 season-ending race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He is also one of two drivers who has qualified for the "Chase for the Sprint Cup" championship each year since the program's inception in 2004. Three-time series champion Jimmie Johnson is the other driver.
Kenseth ended this year's Sprint Cup season 11th in the point standings as he scored nine top-five finishes and 20 top-10's. His best finish in 2008 was second, coming in September at Dover (the second race in the Chase).
"Matt Kenseth is a champion in every sense of the word, and John Henry and I are proud to have him in our stable of drivers," team owner Jack Roush said. "Over the last 11 years, Matt has been a leader in our organization and a voracious competitor on track, and to know that he will continue on in that role with Roush Fenway is gratifying."

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
