Of course Matt is also a Menards driver. He pilots the #88 Menards Chevy in the truck series.

It is a good opportunity for Matt to Qualify the car and get some Cup seat time.

He should let him race the thing. What difference does it make now. Matt came close to winning the CWTS championship. He couldn't do that bad of a job.
