This stage of Kasey Kahne’s career is tumultuous almost by definition. What should be the prime of the 31-year-old’s career is a bit muddled, if only for now. Kahne left Richard Petty Motorsports near the end of last season. In 2012, he will join Hendrick Motorsports, replacing Mark Martin.
This year, though, Kahne is taking a one-year ride with Team Red Bull as a teammate of Brian Vickers.
What’s more, Kahne underwent knee surgery recently to repair a torn meniscus. Still, he planned to participate in the next Sprint Cup race at Richmond International Raceway.
Thus far, in the No. 4 Toyota, Kahne has collected three top-10 finishes, though a disastrous Talladega showing relegated him to 18th in the Sprint Cup standings. He was 11th four races ago.
“We’ve been learning some things,” said Kahne. “The cars are a lot different than what we’ve had in the past ... we’ve been off every week, but ... we have a great team with Red Bull behind it.
