Kahne Is Able
I must come clean on something; I was not sold on Kasey Kahne before the 2006 NASCAR Nextel Cup season began. I felt as if he was another young hard charger that was put in superlative equipment. The #9 Evernham Motorsports Dodge was an already established front-runner with long-time veteran Bill Elliott behind the wheel. If you recall, no team was better than Elliott and the #9 team throughout the final ten or twelve races of 2003.

Year Of The Veterans?
In a world in which drivers in their twenties and early thirties dominate the NASCAR scene, forty-seven year-old Mark Martin has been the outsider over the last couple of years. Martin is the lone driver in his fabulous forties to compete in NASCAR’s playoff-style ‘Chase For The Championship’ in both 2004 and 2005. Rusty Wallace qualified in 2005, but never won a race. Since 2004, forty-something drivers have combined for a total of four wins, with Martin claiming half of them. Only Dale Jarrett and Rusty Wallace have been able to win at least one race in that time span.
