Kyle Busch Motorsports has announced that Kasey Kahne will drive the team’s No. 18 Toyota Tundra in the Too Tough to Tame 200 at Darlington Raceway on Saturday, March 12. Toyota will serve as the primary sponsor for the defending NASCAR Camping World Series owners’ champions and The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) will join the KBM sponsor lineup as an associate sponsor for the race. In Kahne’s first career Camping World Truck Series start, he drove the No. 2 Team ASE truck to victory in the 2004 Darlington 200 at Darlington Raceway. He returned to the seat of the No. 2 truck the following week for the Ford 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway and once again was victorious. After a five-year absence from the Truck Series, the Enumclaw, Wash. native was tabbed to pilot the No. 18 Toyota Tundra for KBM in the Pocono Mountains 125 at Pocono Raceway last July. The 30-year nearly made it three victories in three career starts, leading 17 of 55 laps before finishing second to Elliott Sadler.(Kyle Busch Motorsports PR)(2-25-2011)
