Matt Kenseth is done with NASCAR. Not by his own choosing. He wanted to keep racing, but he lost his ride at Joe Gibbs Racing, a victim of the push for teams to bring in younger, cheaper drivers. Sure, Kenseth has said he might do some dirt races, but that's not the same for NASCAR fans.
So when Kenseth makes a rare social media post, his fans go nuts -- even if it has nothing to do with the track. For example, he posted this about a family trip.
That?s right....family ski trip! pic.twitter.com/mtOLB6ZltQ

It's beautiful scenery. But the thousands of comments he's received had pretty much the same theme -- fans miss Matt Kenseth. Badly.
What a great time with your family @mattkenseth . Enjoy those kids as they grow up so fast. We sure are going to miss watching you race and your great interviews.

In case you missed the point, Matt, we all miss you.
