“We’re in my favorite summer stretch right now. I really enjoying going to the next few tracks on the schedule and I typically run well at all of them. I like racing at Loudon and last year we got a top-10 finish there, so I’m looking to improve on that this weekend."

Kasey Kahne at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS), by the numbers... Though Kahne only has four NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) starts to his credit at "The Magic Mile," his stats are pretty impressive.
