Saturday night at Madison International Speedway in Oregon, Wis., might be a priceless moment in time for the Kenseth family. But then again, it might spark a rebirth of the TV cult classic Family Feud.

My dad and the other guys spend a lot of time pumping Ross up, so I'm usually the guy that has to deflate him a little bit.

-- MATT KENSETH

About a month ago, Cup driver Matt Kenseth went home to Wisconsin, where he blazed a decent late model racing career before moving to NASCAR's national level.

The week of the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard, Kenseth won the legendary Slinger Nationals at the Wisconsin short track, Slinger Speedway, but it wasn't a big leaguer coming home for a one-shot cherry-picking.

At Slinger that night, Kenseth became the only man to win five Nationals, meaning he's won more than Dick Trickle, more than Joe Shear, more than Alan Kulwicki, more than Mark Martin, and definitely more than a few other Midwest legends like Rusty Wallace, Mike Eddy and Bob Senneker, who never even won the thing.

That's a big deal.

And you want the icing on the cake? Kenseth's 16-year-old son Ross, who's actually made a quantum leap in performance this season on the Midwestern late model circuit, won the limited late model division's support race for his first Slinger victory.

Now think about that scenario. For a racing father who's reached the pinnacle of his profession and is helping along a son who's been properly influenced enough to want to race -- and then begins to excel at it -- well, it just can't get any better than to win a big race yourself. But for the level he's at, for your son to equal the feat, at a high-profile track, with you there to see it -- that's pretty special. (Continued)
