Kaesy Kahne Wins At Pocono
I have to admit, I didn’t think he had it in him either.
Kasey Kahne never thought his start to the season was all that bad, despite how it looked on paper.
In hindsight, there was something missing and it took last month’s win in the All-Star race to see it.
Now Kahne is on a roll, riding a wave of momentum from that $1 million payday into a championship-contending run.
He won for second time in the last three Sprint Cup Series points races Sunday at Pocono Raceway, and counting his win in the All-Star race, Kahne has been to Victory Lane three times in the past four events.
There were a few good wrecks, not many, and a fire. I thought it was hilarious that the rescue team just stood there, fire extinguishers in hand, while talking to Juan Pablo Montoya after he got out of the car on his own. Watching the car of tomorrow today burn. Now there’s a sport I can get into.

Kasey Kahne Wins The All-Star Race
I was out at a rodeo tonight, but I recorded the All-Star race. I have to say, I was shocked. When we heard that Kasey Kahne won the race, the kids actually said, “Kasey Kahne still races?” He must have some fans somewhere because they voted him into the race in the first place.
Kasey Kahne won a popularity contest, then parlayed it into a $1 million payday.
After failing to qualify for the All-Star race, Kahne grabbed a spot in the field when the fans voted him into Saturday night’s event at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
Already running on house money, he gambled on his final pit stop to steal the $1 million prize. And in holding off Greg Biffle in the final segment, Kahne became just the third driver in All-Star race history to advance from the preliminary race into the show and then win the main event.
…
Earnhardt faded to eighth after leading 14 laps in the third segment and was followed by Mark Martin and Carl Edwards, who was picked by track president and master prognosticator Humpy Wheeler to win the race.
Oh, yeah, and Humpy Wheeler was wrong. Again.
