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.
