Chase Elliott shared that Kasey Kahne actually called him a few months ago to ask for his opinion when Kahne was offered his full-time Truck Series ride with Spire. Chase goes way back with Kahne between him taking over for his dad at Evernham to being teammates in Cup later on.
"He just asked for my thoughts, and I told him I thought it would be a really cool thing for him to go do if he wants to race competitively. I think it would be a good team to go do that with, and I thought he would be really pleased with the effort and I think he can do them a really good job."
Chase credited Kasey with helping him out in his Cup career, pointing out that he had grown up around him and admired him, and that led to a mutual respect between the two.
@ROWDYNATION_8 Itโs playoffs! Everyone is locked in with their own teams. I donโt understand why yโall donโt get that. Nobody complained when Hocevar said he didnโt give a shit but yโall wanna bitch about Chase and Joey not knowing
@User125965458@briniittyy Exactly!! Sid was targeted for years when he came into the league and Mack said Sid mentioned that to him to watch out so the sharks shouldโve been ready for this
@DrRobair@smittbrini Yes youโre right! And I know he probably wanted to play opening night and maybe he was feeling alright for the game but I think he shouldnโt of played as rested these first few games ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
@KevinJoeWV@daletanhardt Why would he care about another teams driver? Hes very well earned his place in nascar. Hocevar said he doesnโt give a shit but I donโt see yall complaining about him ๐
@peopleagda Exactly!! Saw a video someone posted of him looking exhausted on the bench after a long shift and I said he looks like heโs gonna pass out
