Kasey Kahne will have a new voice on his radio this weekend as Shannon McGlamery takes over spotting duties for the #5 Hendrick Motorsports driver. Kole Kahne, Kasey’s cousin, has been the driver’s longtime spotter. But after Kahne was involved in an accident two weeks ago at Bristol, his spotter came under question. A source familiar with the situation said Kahne wanted to try something new. McGlamery has served as a spotter for Jeff Gordon and as a mechanic at Hendrick.(Fox Sports)(3-30-2012)
UPDATE: Kahne discussed his spotter change Friday at Martinsville.
IS SHANNON (MCGLAMERY) SPOTTING FOR YOU ALL WEEKEND? IT LOOKED LIKE THAT WOULD BE A REACTION TO WHAT HAPPENED AT BRISTOL. IS IT? ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE A CHANGE?
‘No, I would say it is something I wanted to do, something different. I was a little unpleased after California. We are just looking at something for a couple of week. We are going to see after Texas. We are going to sit down and decide if that is the direction I want to go or if I feel comfortable with Kole (Kahne) doing it again or what. I ‘m going to wait. I ‘m going to do two weeks with someone else and then decide after Texas what I want to do.’
SO WHO ARE GOING TO USE THE TWO WEEKS?
‘I ‘m using Shannon (McGlamery) for the next two weeks then I ‘m going to decide what I am going to do from there. It’s just a couple of week deal.’(Chevy PR)(3-31-2012)
