Kahne at Kansas Speedway

Kahne on Kansas Speedway
“Kansas is considered one of the 1.5-mile cookie cutter tracks and is most similar to the track in Chicago, with a little less banking. It’s a fast, smooth track and despite the fact that it is one of the newer tracks on the circuit, it has developed a nice wide racing groove that seems to get better every year. I look forward to going back this year with first -rate equipment and great team behind me and seeing what we can do.”
