Kasey Kahne has confirmed that he’ll be returning to Australia in 2015/2016 to race an exclusive Ultimate Sprintcar schedule at Valvoline Raceway. Kahne will bring his own first class equipment, including two complete cars and spares, to race at Valvoline Raceway on Dec. 26, Dec. 28, Dec. 30, Jan. 1, Jan. 3 and Jan. 5. Kahne will bring his long time right hand at Kasey Kahne Racing, Justin Adams, and possibly another team member to facilitate the Sydney tour. “I’ve enjoyed the racing and the hospitality in Australia before and there’s a lot to like about coming back down there for it,” Kahne said. “It’s a quick break from all the activity up here (USA) and I get to squeeze in six races. It’s a win-win for me.” Kahne will field his sprint car under the umbrella of Steve Caunt Racing – the flamboyant Albion Park Rail (NSW) car owner and driver has facilitated some of the sport’s biggest names in the past, including two-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion Jason Meyers and Outlaw legend Sammy Swindell to name a few – who has purchased Kahne’s equipment for the Sydney tour. “Obviously it’s a great honour to have someone like Kasey involved with our racing program,” said Caunt. “He’ll be running his cars with support from our hauler and our operation. I know he’ll be bringing everything he needs but he has all of our inventory if he needs it as well.”(NSSN)(9-29-2015)
