In this spring’s NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway, Kasey Kahne will sport some additional firepower on his #9 Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge Charger – that of Adam Sandler, Chris Rock and Burt Reynolds, stars of the new Paramount Pictures comedy “The Longest Yard,” which opens nationally on Memorial Day Weekend. Kahne, a fan of Sandler classics such as “Happy Gilmore” and “The Wedding Singer,” will carry the star’s latest movie on the hood of his Dodge Charger to promote the comedy, which will be released nationally on Memorial Day. The #9 Dodge will feature a distinctive black and yellow paint scheme with footballs and prison cell bars. Sandler also will serve as the grand marshal of the NASCAR Nextel Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway. Diecast models of the #9 Dodge Dealers/UAW “Longest Yard” Dodge Charger will be available late this summer.(ClearBlue), see an image of the scheme on my #9 Team Schemes page.(4-23-2005)
