Dirtmeister Kahne gets first NASCAR road course win
Written by Scott Keller · June 23, 2009
Anyone who ever witnessed Kasey Kahne run a winged sprint car on dirt knew that they were watching a future star in big time racing. I personally saw Kahne win the Dirt Cup at Skagit Speedway two years in a row, a race that draw all the best winged 410’s on the west coast to northwest Washinton. But for a guy that is so at home in the dirt, Kasey Kahne sure put out quite a performance on Sunday at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma.
Kahne held off Tony Stewart to win a veritable crashfest on the natural terrain roadcourse. A couple of drivers that were especially “crashy” on Sunday were Robby Gordon and Kyle Busch. I lost track of exactly how many incidents these two were involved in, but it was more than a couple.
The win for Kahne is his first under the Petty Enterprises banner, and it was nice to see the King celebrating in Victory Lane again.
