"There is something fundamentally wrong"

Yes that was the statement that Matt Kenseth made on the scanner during the KC Masterpiece 400 on Saturday night to crew chief Matt Puccia after several changes were made to help improve the car.  The basis of this is, the car couldn't be fixed with changes the crew was making to the race car and that means one of two things, the shop is not providing the proper setup to the 6 team or the crew chief/engineering team is not doing the home work on what the driver has been telling them to make the cars better.

In Puccia's tenure as a crew chief he's had 246 starts, and only 3 wins with veteran Greg Biffle.  

When you look up fundamentally, you get this  - used to make an emphatic statement about the basic truth of something.  So in racing terms Kenseth meant "fundamentally, this is a matter the shop will have to fix."  

There are a lot of questions floating around after last weekend now concerning how well the 17 team has been performing compared to the 6 team.  I've been saying it since about July of last year when Stenhouse won the second race at Daytona, that the 17 had something different than the 6 car did.  To some fans they still want to believe that Matt Kenseth is still just there to help improve the performance of the No. 6 team, however, many have already let the cat out of the bag that Trevor Bayne will not be returning to the team next year and will be looking elsewhere.  
 
After this situation can you really blame him?  They brought someone else into the team to prove what he has been saying for the past year.  The rude awakening that Roush Fenway Racing got this past weekend was nothing more than a funny statement to many fans.  It showed what kind of move that they had really made two weeks ago.  There is a basis of performance that is missing with this organization and has been for many years.  

It is the same reason guys such as Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Chris Buescher are no longer with this organization anymore.  The upper-management of the team cannot figure out where their problems are really at, even after making several key moves two years ago to the aerodynamic field, engineering, they're still behind the 8 ball.  

So when you put what all was said during Saturday night, you really have think how far behind is this team?
