The 43 Days of Daytona - 23rd Place in 2005
Over the 43 days leading up to the Daytona 500, I'll be doing a short review/preview of the Top 43 Drivers of 2005.
----------------
Kasey Kahne
#9 - Dodge Motorsports
Kasey Kahne is a very talented young man...who looks very, very young. The standing joke is that he is 11 or 12 and should be in Middle School instead of behind the wheel of those 800 horsepower race cars.
Kasey ran 36 races last season for Ray Everham Racing. He won 1 race, took 2 poles, 5 Top 5's, and 8 top 10's. He hung impressive numbers last season with winnings of $4,874,840. He finished 23rd in points for the 2005 season.
He has a solid future in this sport and will be a great racer for a long time to come.
He will be sporting a new paint scheme next season with a large white area down the sides of the car.
Rumor is that Everham Motorsports may be moving their garages and headquarters to Indianapolis. This kind of thing is overdue. The great majority of teams are all based in and around North Carolina and as NASCAR becomes a national sport, teams will need to expand their bases. There are talent pools that have yet to be explored out there.
Will sponsorship be big enough to allow the team to field a car every week? Yes. Absolutely. Dodge is one of those solid sponsorships
Do I think he could go win a championship? Yes. The other team, the #19, has made the Chase the last two years. Kasey is a better driver than Jeremy Mayfield...in the same equipment...it's only a matter of time.
Do I think he could win a race or two and have a good season? Yes. He will.
