No decision on future by Kahne yet: #9-Kasey Kahne is in the final year of his driving contracts and as such are considered a prize free agents in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Silly Season class. Kahne has said that how Richard Petty Motorsports performs in the early races this season will go a long way towards determining whether he re-signs with the team or moves elsewhere in 2011. Asked by SPEEDtv.com Tuesday if he had come to a decision about whether to stay at RPM or move on, Kahne said, "Not yet. ... I feel like we've had a pretty good five races seven if you count the other two (Budweiser Shootout and Gatorade Duel) to start the year so I feel pretty good about where we're at and where we can still go this year." And despite being 23rd in points, Kahne said he was optimistic that his team could rebound and he could qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup. "We've had just a few things go on, but that's racing and things happen," said Kahne. "I think we can recover from that and gain some of those points back pretty quick, and get in the top 12 and win races."(SPEEDtv)(3-24-2010)
I'm sure he's just being politically correct for now, but that sounds promising. I hope he's going to hang around for a few more years with FORD and give it a try!
