Kasey Kahne Fun Facts
Kasey Kenneth Kahne (born April 10, 1980 in Enumclaw, Washington) is a race car driver in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series. For the 2009 season, he drives the #9 Budweiser / Allstate Dodge Charger for Gillett Evernham Motorsports with teammates Elliott Sadler and Reed Sorenson. Off the track, Kahne is active in charitable work and is a member of the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation. He also owns his own race team Kasey Kahne Racing that competes in the World of Outlaws series fielding a car for Joey Saldana, in the USAC Sprint Car Series for Brady Bacon, and in USAC midgets for Brad Sweet. Kahne is also a 3-time Skagit Speedway winner of the Annual Jim Raper memorial Dirt Cup, and holds the current record for fastest lap at Skagit.
Kahne replaced Bill Elliott in the #9 Dodge at the end of 2003 when Elliott announced a part-time schedule starting with the 2004 season. Due to the fact that Kahne was still under contract with Ford, a lawsuit began when Kahne decided to go to Evernham, driving a car that was being sponsored by Dodge. Ford eventually got money from Kahne, allowing him to go to Dodge. In 2004, Kahne surprised many by nearly winning several races (including five second-place finishes and 13 top-fives), winning four poles and captured the Raybestos Rookie of the Year award. He drove 30 races for Akins in the Busch Series, finishing thirteenth in points.
