Kasey Kahne

What gets you to that point?

So after H. Scott, I went to Hendrick and worked with Casey Kane his last couple years there.

And then from there, I went to True Speed Communication, which is an agency that had a lot of race teams, did a lot of business with either drivers or partners or teams and whatnot.

So I worked on the Stuart Haas accounts there.

But yeah, he's done...

I mean, he and the car owner, the guy behind you, Casey Kane, have done as much for sprint car racing as anybody that has NASCAR ties.

And obviously Kyle is building quite the legacy doing that too with what he's doing and Brad are doing out in Chico and with High Limit, that's for sure.

So it's good to have those guys giving back to our sport.

What would bring you back to

do some trucks? We had Casey Kane on last week, and that came out of left field as far as I'm concerned because I thought with his health issues, this wasn't even a possibility, even with trucks having a lighter schedule.

I know Brad Kay is still in the wind somewhere.

I'm actually starting to lose interest on where he goes.

It's a weird time to announce it, but there was the idea that maybe he'd go down to trucks and try to be that triple crown guy, first to do it in all three series.

You see so many of the Cup Series drivers going down there to have a little bit of fun and compete in the truck series.

When do we see Denny Hamlin wheel a truck at all? You want to get in there against Casey Kane one last time? Is there something, or is that just not fun because you've got so much shit going on?

I have a personal goal, and that is to win my last start in all three NASCAR top series.

Yeah, Craftsman came back.

and Ram, and one of my favorite, one of the guys that I used to silently root for, I've always been a Joe Gibbs racing guy, but Casey Kane, I've always thought was just a great driver and all that other stuff.

He's going to run in a Spire truck full-time next year.

Full-time? Full-time.

Casey Kane.

Yes.

When did that

Wow.

...

when Kasey Kahne was putting on the race.

Yeah, it was, like, the f- it was the Frito-Lay Kasey Kahne Challenge.

I wanna say it was '09.

He had, like, a couple of races.

Nationwide based on sportsbook predictions and free to play sports contest availability varies by state.

We have Kasey Kahne in the building, and I know that because my wife is watching intently, which is just not fair.

Uh, but otherwise it's myself and Spider holding it down.

Spider, we're gonna have Kasey Kahne coming up in about 15 or 20 minutes.

How are you doing in the interim, my man?

All good.

Everything's good.

Um, you know, pumped to be back here talking about racing, and I'm more excited to have Kasey Kahne on the show at large.

But I also said, you know, if I'm Holmes, I don't know why you'd walk away from Book and crew chief Sean Strasbach.

Interestingly enough, one of the cars that was brought up when discussed this was maybe Casey Kane replacing Days and Pursley with Holmes, which would be odd given Holmes replaced Pursley when he left Book for KKR.

Pursley has had a disappointing season in the KKR9, replacing Brad Sweet after his retirement.

You know, they say you don't want to be the guy after the guy that appears to be at least partly coming true here.
