Kasey Kahne's highly anticipated NASCAR return is here, coinciding with the return of Rockingham. It's a track he knows fairly well — having earned a win here before. This weekend, he takes on the classic track again piloting the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet with backing from HendrickCars.com.
Speaking in a press conference on Friday, the 45-year-old said he's "been really looking forward to this race," later commenting on how "it’s been a special track throughout my career." He added that depending on how well things go, this may not be the last time you'll see him behind the wheel of a NASCAR stock car.
