Crew chief Kenny Francis will join Kasey Kahne at Red Bull Racing in 2011, Francis and Kahne confirmed to ESPN.com Sunday. “Of course he’s coming,” Kahne said with a grin, following a fourth-place finish in the Pepsi Max 400 at Auto Club Speedway. Francis confirmed the move amid the clanging of wrenches during post-race teardown, but chose not to comment further. “I’m going, but that’s all I want to say right now,” he said. Kahne signed a one-year contract with Red Bull, and in 2012 will move to Hendrick Motorsports. Red Bull sources said myriad scenarios — answers they won’t have until later — will decide Francis’ future past 2011. He could stay at Red Bull, or he could go with Kahne to Hendrick, sources said.(ESPN.com)(10-11-2010)
