KASEY KAHNE QUOTES:
“I really enjoy driving Darlington. Its one of those tracks that puts a lot in the drivers hands. You can choose from several different lines when you want to pass, depending on how your car is handling or how worn your tires are. But it is narrow, and when they put the soft walls in there a couple of years ago that narrowed it even more. Lipton is on the car again this weekend. I really wanted to get a good finish for the Lipton folks at Richmond last week since they had not been on the Ultimate Chargers Dodge this year. We had a good run going before the wreck. We led the most laps of any car and we were going to have a shot at the win. I would like nothing more than to make that up this weekend.”
