Matt Kenseth was already behind before the first race, and wasn't in much better shape after it.

When his car failed inspection after qualifying at the Daytona 500, Kenseth was penalized 50 points. Then with a chance for a likely top-10 finish, he crashed on the final lap of the season opener.

Five races later, Kenseth has made quite a comeback - moving from 40th to fourth in NASCAR Nextel Cup points with 836, 130 behind leader Jeff Gordon.Matt Kenseth was already behind before the first race, and wasn't in much better shape after it.
