#9-Kasey Kahne said he felt ill Saturday night, which is why he did not finish the race at Charlotte. Kahne and Richard Petty Motorsports hit yet another rough spot Saturday night when, after his brakes failed, Kahne said he was too ill to continue the race in his damaged Ford. J.J. Yeley completed the race in Kahnes car. Kahne ran a 5k for his charity Sunday morning in downtown Charlotte, finishing that race and smiling after, saying that his stomach was still upset. He said he threw up once Saturday night and didnt feel the need to put forth the effort to get back in a car that didnt meet his standards. Kahne said it was the third time this season his brakes had failed, and second time in three races. He admitted to melting down on the radio, which led many to speculate he refused to get back in the car after his crew made repairs. ‘I lost it. I was just mad. I came into the race thinking we had a shot to win, thinking we had a good car in practice, we had a good shot,’Â he said. ‘It went green. We were a little bit tight, but still actually passed cars and really felt good, and then boom, my brakes are gone. Its not like you have half-brakes, like you can pump them. Your foot goes to the floor. It bottoms out. Its a joke.’Â(Yahoo Sports)(10-18-2010)
