CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) NASCAR chairman Brian France requested a Monday meeting with Matt Kenseth before the suspended driver returns to racing in the season finale.
NASCAR spokesman David Higdon said France called the meeting with the two-time Daytona 500 winner.
Kenseth was suspended two races for intentionally wrecking Joey Logano as payback for an earlier incident in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Kenseth’s action ultimately cost Logano a spot in Sunday’s title-deciding race.
Kenseth was knocked out of the playoffs in part because Logano spun him while the two raced for the win at Kansas last month.
In an interview with The Associated Press last week, Kenseth stood by his actions and said he felt encouraged to retaliate because France praised Logano’s actions at Kansas as ”quintessential NASCAR.”
