Kasey Kahne makes another run at the coveted Golden Driller trophy after putting the wraps on his fourth year of competition on the NASCAR Nextel Cup circuit.  The 2004 Cup Rookie of the Year, Kasey has compiled seven wins, 31 top-fives and 49 top-tens in four years on the nation's  premier circuit.

A grad of the open wheel ranks, both winged and wingless, Kasey mixed in seven Sprint starts and one Midget start in 2007, finishing second in Turkey Night Midget action at Irwindale.  In Sprint Car action, Kasey claimed a runner-up finish in Winged Outlaw Warriors action at Sedalia, MO, in June and a third-place finish at Skagit in August.

The winner of back-to-back Belleville Midget Nationals titles in 2000 and 2001 and the 2000 USAC Midget champion, Kasey will try to add a Chili Bowl triumph to his resume.
