Kasey Kahne will push for Red Bull Racing next season, but he still doesn't know who is going to be his crew chief, his team-mate (or teammates) or even what number of car can drive. Kahne was a driver without a home for the next season. Signed a contract with Hendrick Motorsports at the beginning of this year, but there was no place to which he lead the team next season. NASCAR limited organizations to four teams each, and Hendrick Motorsports already had Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the contract. Of his one season at Red Bull Racing, Kahne will go to Hendrick Motorsports and replace Martin, whose contract expires after next season.
"" From the beginning [car owner Rick Hendrick] said we were going to work together,"Kahne said where he would drive next year.""Arrived with the option of Red Bull."
Jay Frye, CEO of Red Bull, could not say it will be for Kahne partner or team mates. Frye said it was possible for two cars team to add a third car, but many questions remain.
Regarding potential teammates for Kahne, Brian Vickers has been out since May due to a treatment for blood clots. Frye said that Vickers is half of its treatment "continues to get better and seems to be in a good way."
Frye said that the team is looking for improvement of Scott Speed, who is 27 in the classification of driver starting the race this weekend in Michigan.
"There are still things we are doing as a team in the race to get better, there are things you need to do to continue getting better," said Frye speed. "Display during the next month or two that will hold the future."
Frye said that many details should still be resolved during the coming weeks, including if the veteran Kahne, Kenny Francis, crew chief will join the team.
Frye said also that the Kahne contract is with Red Bull for the coming year and Hendrick are not paying an allowance for Kahne be allí.Así, what is the benefit of having Kahne during a year?
It as sort of the same with the Vikings [Minnesota], said Frye. "Why Vikings would sign Brett Favre in a year?"Well, is because they want to win; they want to win ahora.Brett Favre is a proven commodity, proven winner. This is the same, which is of Kasey Kahne."Let's next season, knowing that we have a winner, a commodity tested one of our cars."
