Kasey Kahne talks about the year he hit the road, “We lived out of a two bedroom apartment in Indianapolis.”
He continued, “There was 5 or 6 of us in it. We were like sleeping on floors. But it was fairly cheap, so that was a good thing at the time.”
As his career developed, Kahne made the transition from dirt racing to the pavement.
