Bulls Gap, TN -- March 17, 2010 -- Kasey
Kahne is the ultimate multi-tasker. Already a NASCAR superstar, a World
of Outlaws car owner, and this weekend a World of Outlaws promoter,
today Kahne announced he also will race in his Kasey's King of Bulls
Gap Presented By Budweiser on Friday and Saturday nights at Volunteer
Speedway. This is all in addition to competing in NASCAR Sprint Cup and
Nationwide events during the day at Bristol Motor Speedway.
"I've
really been looking forward to this race and I figured why not race in
it too," said Kahne. "Bulls Gap is an awesome racetrack and I'm excited
for Friday night. I haven't raced a Sprint Car since last year and this
will be my first Outlaws race in a few years. It will be cool to have
four KKR cars competing this weekend."
The
two-night event at the historic four-tenths-mile oval featuring 35
degrees of banking is just off Interstate 81 at Exit 23, about 45
minutes southwest of Bristol. It is the first World of Outlaws Sprint
Car Series event at Volunteer Speedway since 2007, when Kasey Kahne
Racing's Joey Saldana captured the checkered flag. Saldana, who drives
the #9 Budweiser car, enters this weekend leading the standings for the
2010 World of Outlaws championship. In addition to Saldana and Kahne,
Paul McMahan in the #91 Great Clips car and Brad Sweet in the #49 Auto
Value Bumper to Bumper car also race for KKR.
Kasey's
King of Bulls Gap Presented By Budweiser is the beginning of the
four-race Showdown for the Bud Crown, which includes events on June 16
at Missouri State Fair Speedway in Sedalia, Mo., and July 8 in the
Chicago area, where a champion be named and the top three overall
finishers will be honored.
