NASCAR newsmaker Kasey Kahne

Kasey Kahne has made headlines throughout his debut season on the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series. From his narrow losses early in the season to a recent run-in with Tony Stewart that touched off a pit-road melee between the drivers' teams, he has quickly became one of NASCAR's newest young stars.

Kahne, who drives a Dodge for Ray Evernham, enters this week's race at Pocono Raceway in 14th place in the series' standings.
