Kasey Kahne Loses Temper

Just a month ago, NASCAR driver Carl Edwards revealed his dark side. Apparently, he isn't the only 'good' guy that has a hot temper. Kasey Kahne has been considered one of the nice guys ever since he was a NASCAR rookie in 2004. However, Kahne has not been on his best behavior his season.

On Friday, Kasey Kahne and his brother Kale were trying to enter the motorcoach lot when a track security guard stopped the two men. Kahne did not attain the proper credentials for his brother to enter the lot, and allegedly shoved the security guard to the ground. (Must have been a small security guard)

The unidentified security guard was eventually released from the infield care center. Nevertheless, Kahne is under investigation by the Homestead Police Department.

"We are looking into the matter; the detective is handling it," said Police Captain Tom Foglia. NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp has no comment at the present time. Kahne said that the incident was a misunderstanding. Ya think!

This is not the first time that Kasey Kahne has strayed from his normally quiet and timid demeanor. Earlier in the year, he verbally assaulted David Stremme following an on-track incident at Richmond. His juvenile insults included calling Stremme 'fat'. Is Kahne getting too big for his britches?
