Kasey Kahne parlayed his popularity into a million bucks.
Kahne used the fan vote to gain entry into the Sprint Cup All-Star race. When Joe Gibbs Racing’s Kurt Busch and Denny Hamlin had engine problems with their experimental home shop power plants, Kahne was able to race off to a two-second win over Roush-Fenway drivers Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth.
Kahne joins Michael Waltrip and Ryan Newman as the only drivers to win the All-Star race after racing their way in from the preliminary race.
Which leads us to this week's BUZZ ON PIT ROW: Did Kasey Kahne being voted into the All-Star race by the fans diminish his win?
We may use your answer ON PIT ROW Tuesday at 5-7pm ET. Tune in to listen live here.
