Given the opportunity to eat a Martinsville hot dog Kenseth did not seem interested. After some prodding the 40-year-old took one bite. You probably know what happened next. Almost immediately Kenseth turned around and spit it out.
“That was not good advertising” Kenseth noted.
The show moved on to questions from twitter. The first question was asking about the best advice you have ever been given. Kenseth wasted no time in replying “Don’t eat the Martinsville hot dogs.”
