Kasey Kahne Returns to NASCAR Xfinity at Rockingham

Kasey Kahne is making his first NASCAR national series start since 2018, returning to compete in the Xfinity Series race at Rockingham Speedway with Richard Childress Racing. Kahne, a former Cup Series star and recognized as one of NASCAR’s 75 Greatest Drivers, expressed excitement about racing again at Rockingham, a track where he previously won a Truck Series race in 2012. While Kahne admitted it would be difficult to win immediately after such a long absence, he aims to be competitive and run inside the top-10. He indicated that if his performance and experience at Rockingham go well, he is open to participating in additional NASCAR races later in the season, but also acknowledged the possibility this could be a one-time return. Kahne emphasized his appreciation for the opportunity and the effort from his team in preparing for this comeback. His return has generated significant interest, as fans and the sport watch to see if this marks his final start or a new chapter in his NASCAR career.
