Matt Kenseth

We caught up with NASCAR driver and Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana to find out the music that moves him. Metallica dominated his playlists for a long time but he also shares emotional song picks that reflect his role as a father and his life (literally) in the fast lane.
