After running the final 32 races of the 2020 season, Matt Kenseth is ready to step away from full-time racing for good.

“I can say with almost 100 percent certainty that my days in professional racing — at least full-time professional racing — are over,” said Kenseth via the Wisconsin State-Journal.

“I look forward to doing late model stuff or IMSA, or something like that. A little bit here or there. As far as NASCAR racing full-time or professional racing, those days are behind me.”

A 39-time winner at NASCAR’s Cup Series level, Kenseth won the 2003 series title.
