Kahne Stands Tall In NASCAR Nation

It would seem that the new surface at Lowes is exactly what they thought it would be. Fast, slick, and tough to tame. The Busch Series on Friday the 13th proved it, and the Cup Series put an explanation point to it on Saturday night. After early wrecks made almost half the field racing from the hole, and of course the normal Chase engine failure putting some of the rest in the garage early, Kahne proved strong to overcome all elements. Again!

In an ever growing tough field of drivers in NASCAR, Kasey Kahne stands tall once again. To all the fans in NASCAR, you better get used to it.

With his 6th win of the year, Kahne has pulled away as one of the top drivers in NASCAR. Even with the win, Kahne may not have a great chance at a Championship this year, as he is still 160 points from the league leader. But I go on record once again, to make the call that next year will be the year of the Kahne.  

Kasey has dominated at the mile-and-half tracks for weekends at a time. They still have some work to do on the superspeedways, and half mile tracks, but that may not be a fault of the driver. If Evernham Motorsports can prove to have what it takes to put him into a fast car, then Kahne will drive the wheels off the thing. Evernham still has some engine work to do, to keep the #9 on the track, and help Kahne to not having to make up the points for engine failure. Kasey Kahne has proven he has what it takes. It's up to Evernham to prove they have the resources to help.

Lowes did come down to the last person standing after 500 miles, and for the 6th time this season, Kahne stood tall in Victory Lane. Even though he may come up short for the 2006 Chase for the Cup, the future looks bright for the #9 team. Kasey 'The Rain' Kahne will reign on NASCAR for years to come.
