    Matt Kenseth can quit wondering. He is still good enough to win.

    After nearly two years and 76 races, Kenseth finally got back into Victory Lane with a dominating run at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday night when the entire Roush Fenway team was outstanding.

    "After over two years, I didn't know if I'd get a chance to get here again," Kenseth said in Victory Lane.

    Kenseth led 169 of 334 laps at the 1½-mile, high-banked track for his 19th career victory, his first since California in February 2009 when he won the first two races of that season. Since his other win at Texas in 2002, Kenseth had four runner-up finishes, including last fall behind Denny Hamlin, and six other top-10 finishes at the track.

    "It has been a long time," Kenseth said. "I have lost a lot of close ones at this track. It feels good to be able to close it out."
