"We had a good Budweiser Dodge tonight. We had to battle all night there at the end with Jeff (Gordon) having fresh tires at the end of the race. I wanted to hang on for all we had, we ended up third and it ended up being a good run for us tonight. I wasn’t really very close to the 5, but I cleared the 24 and then he charged back. I got through (Turns) 1 and 2 better than he did, but he had tires and we didn’t. I thought we did a really good job. We held our own and got a great finish."

Kasey Kahne was born in Enumclaw, Washington on April 10, 1980. Kasey became interested in racing at a young age. His father, Kelly Kahne, owned several sprint cars. Kasey loved spending time at local dirt tracks. When he was 18, Kasey began racing full-size sprint cars. In 2002, Kasey signed with Robert Yates racing, and ran in the NASCAR Busch Series. He best finish that year was 10th, at Michigan International Speedway. He got his first Busch Series win in 2003, at Homestead-Miami Speedway. In that same year, Kasey was chosen to replace Bill Elliott and drive for the No. 9 Dodge for Ray Evernham and Evernham Motorsports. He was excited about this opprotunity and accepted the role of a full-time driver. In 2004, he was named as NASCAR's Rookie Of The Year. He was driving for both the Busch Series and the Nextel Cup Series. He captured his first Nextel Cup win on May 14, 2005 at Richmond International Speedway. His career has been moving up hill since then. To date, Kasey has had 40 Top-10 finishes, 29 Top-5 finishes, and 7 wins. 5 of those wins have been in the 2006 season, leading all the Nextel Cup Drivers this season so far. On May 28, 2006 Kasey captured the Coca-Cola 600, his third win of the season. Kasey had stopped Jimmie Johnson's 3 season streak at that track. Kasey has become one of Nextel Cups hottest young drivers. Kasey's NASCAR career is running smoothly, and he's loving every minute of it, especially since he has his family around him...on and off track.
