CHARLOTTE, N.C. — His appeals rejected, Matt Kenseth defiantly vowed Thursday to race as he always has and accused NASCAR of "unfairly" making an example out of him with a two-race suspension for intentionally wrecking Joey Logano over the weekend at Martinsville. Kenseth will miss the next two races, at Texas and Phoenix, and is eligible to return for the Nov. 22 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The national motorsports appeals panel denied Kenseth's appeal Thursday and a few hours later so did final appeals officer Bryan Moss, who did reduce Kenseth's probation from six months until the end of this year.
