Auto-Club Race Review

Wow... where to start on this one...

It's been a tough week if your a Kasey Kahne fan. Kasey was the very first car to go out for qualifying and ended up mid-pack. Sunday was no better... in fact it was a lot worse.

If Kasey had any hopes of regaining his points from New Hampshire they are surely gone now. Kahne was involved in 2 separate incidents within 20 laps of the checkered flag.
The first one was with 15 laps to go, Kasey was running 7th, Kurt Busch got loose and bounced off the wall and eventually off Kahne sending him spinning into the grass with some damage. After going to pit road to try and repair what damage they could Kasey went out in 23rd position. With 10 laps to go poor Kasey was involved in yet another accident but this time, ending his day. Kasey was visibly upset blaming NASCAR for their "derbis" cautions. "NASCAR threw a debris caution for no debris," Kahne said. "We had a bad race to get a caution to put on a show for the fans."

Entering in 11th place in points 190 points out prior to the incidents, Kahne went home in 11th spot 306 points back. It's safe to say his Championship hopes are over. The best he can do now is make it back inside the Top 10 to go to the Las Vegas Banquet. Non of the bad finishes he's has is his own fault either. Just sorry luck and your gonna have that sometimes. Just part of the game. But regardless myself and all Kahne fans alike should be VERY proud of what he's accomplished this season. There were a lot of people doubting him. Kasey made sure he proved them wrong.
