  • Kasey Kahne, one of NASCAR's 75 Greatest Drivers, says it would be great to race a stock car again and that his body is in better shape than it was in 2018 when he stepped away from the sport. Frontstretch's Dalton Hopkins caught up with him.

    Hear me out here... Get Kasey, Carl, and Kurt Busch to split the season (next year) in the 67 for 23XI. Those are the three names that are coming up the most about a limited schedule right now. Maybe throw Biffle and Kenseth in the mix too (even Newman, get him out of that garbage RWR ride). Would be cool to see. The reason I am saying the 67 for 23XI is that is basically Busch's ride if he is able and wants to run some races. I think they could sell some sponsorship on all these fairly recently retired drivers.
